A CD Case into Garden Cloche

I know, I know, winter is not the best season for sharing gardening tips but I had that kind of mood missing for sunny days outside, so I decided to remind you of a few gardening tips as well as share a new one!

1. Recycle a CD case into a garden cloche: it works like a mini greenhouse by offering climate control to help get new seedlings off to a good start.

I imagine playing with various bottle and sand colors, you can create a cool interior decor element...

And here's a home for a geeky cat: a cute home made of an old CRT monitor! Notice that nice little mouse that serves as a toy. And I love the way the cat bed is decorated and colored (the item is sold out currentky but you can easily make something like this yourself)!

This post is more about inspiration than about offering you an exact idea to implement. It shows you that actually anything can be turned into art that will amaze and inspire.
