Pots and pans and lids! Have you noticed that it’s never the lids that wear out? But we tend to throw out both pot and lid since what good is a lid without a saucepan, right? Wrong. In fact, there are lots of projects that you can make with those lids. Here are just a few to get your creative juices flowing…

You can keep them in the kitchen to hang utensils and hand towels. You can make a kitchen clock from one. Or take them out to the garden where you can use them for everything from wind chimes to bird feeders!.

Enamel, glass, alloy or stainless — you can beautifully upcycle them all!
