What to do with an old butter dish
Repurposing old items is a great way to save money and reduce waste. If you have an old butter dish that you no longer use, don’t toss it in the trash just yet. There are several ways you can repurpose it and give it new life.
Make a jewelry holder
One creative use for an old butter dish is to turn it into a DIY jewelry holder. Simply place the dish upside down and use the lid as a base. Glue some small hooks or knobs onto the top of the lid, and you have a unique way to store and display your jewelry.
Create a mini garden
Another way to repurpose a butter dish is to turn it into a mini garden. Fill the bottom of the dish with some rocks or pebbles for drainage, then add soil and some small plants such as succulents or herbs. Place the dish on a windowsill and enjoy your tiny garden.
Use it as a candle holder
Old butter dishes can also make great candle holders. Simply place a small pillar candle or tea light in the dish and light it. The dish will help to catch any drips or spills and create a cozy atmosphere in your home.
Make a bird feeder
Finally, you can repurpose an old butter dish as a bird feeder. Drill a hole in the center of the lid and thread a piece of string or wire through it. Fill the dish with bird seed and hang it from a tree or hook. Watch as birds visit your yard to enjoy their new feeding spot.
