Plant sedums in old colanders
A fun, quick project for your kitchen vintage pieces.
Items needed for this project:
- an old colander or other aluminum or metal item with holes for water drainage
- several varieties of sedums and succulents
- potting soil with vermiculite
Place potting soil in colander or other item with holes (you may need to add some small stones to cover some of the holes). Add succulents, cover with dirt up to the bottom of plant right before the roots.
Set in a sunny area, water as soil dries but don't over water succulents don't like to sit in soaked soil.

Photo or magazine holder using pant holders
Vintage pant hangers can be used to hang and display magazines, watercolors, or photographs. Also material samples or small quilts.
Simply open the clamp, usually by pulling the hook down, this will release it. Next insert the art or photograph and close the clamp back. If the photo or print is too thin you may need to use a piece of illustration board as backing to increase the thickness under the clamp.
