Storage
Instead of buying new storage boxes, use your old wellies to keep all your garden tools, DIY essentials or other household items together in one place. Put two little holes at the top of each boot and some thick string through them to create a useful handle.
Garden Shoes
Your wellies might be past it for wearing out and about in the great outdoors, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be worn. Old wellies are great for wearing as gardening shoes, even if there a couple of holes in them, you’ll still get a fair amount of use out of them. If you want to get more creative you can even cut your wellies to make a shoe rather than a welly so they are easy to slide on when out and about in the garden.
Plant Pots
Why not turn your old wellies into plant pots? It’s a quick, simple and fun way to re-use them, just pop a few holes in them (if there isn’t already!) to allow water to drain away and then you’re ready to plant your flowers, just make sure you add compost to the bottom of the shoe. This can create a really unique, funky decoration for your garden, if you want to get creative you could even create hanging baskets or regular plant pots.
Scarecrows
If you have a scarecrow in your garden or field, why not give him his own pair of wellies? The perfect finishing touch to his outfit! Or you could keep hold of them until Bonfire Night and use them for your Guy Fawkes. If you don't have a scarecrow then why not make one? this can be a fun activity for all the family to get involved in, if you're struggling on how to make one you can follow our guide follows simple steps on just how you can achieve it.
Donate
If you have old wellies with no holes in them, then consider donating them whether its to friend who could make use of them or to a charity where you know someone will benefit from them. The rainy winter months can leave those less fortunate with cold and wet feet, so they’re sure to get plenty of use from them.
