Coconut shel

Description: Uses for coconut shellsCoconut Here is a list of ideas for repurposing used whole (with top off) or half coconut shells:Container: Use the coconut shell to keep trinkets, treasures and small items in. Things to keep inside might include rubber bands, keys, toys, pens and pencils, twist ties, your stash of used plastic bags, etc.Plant holder: Grow a small plant in the coconut shell. While half a coconut shell can work, having it cut about three quarters of its height is usually the best size for a coconut shell plant holder. Drill or pierce some drainage holes in the base of the shell first, and line with sphagnum moss.Hanging plant holders are another option.Hanging coconut potsBird feeder: Turn into a hanging bird feeder. Drill some holes at even spaces around the top and thread through some heavy twine or thin rope. Tie at the top with a ring or similar to allow for hanging. Fill with birdseed and hang in an appropriate place. Clean regularly.Coconut bird feederAn alternative is to fill the feeder with suet/fat and seed mix, using the shell as the mould and container for the mix.Coconut fat feederChildren's crafts: Have the kids use their imagination to turn coconut shell halves into heads, faces, toys, decorations or anything else that takes their fancy.Basket: As with the idea for the bird feeder, add heavy string or light rope to form a hanging handle. Use the coconut shell basket to carry things in, such as freshly cut herbs and flowers, freshly laid eggs and seeds from your garden.Coconut shell basketNatural candle holder: If you like making your own candles, use the coconut as the container into which you tip the wax. Keep the wick centered and it'll be a great candle for many hours.Bowl: As a bowl, the shell can hold anything you like. A fun thing to try is a bowl of nuts still in their shells; try macadamias, Brazil nuts, almonds and walnuts, for example. Keep a nutcracker nearby to encourage snacking on healthy nuts.Coconut bowlAdd your own ideas and help this to grow!Other (advanced) usesIf you're craft clever, you might be able to turn the shell into sculpted, carved or sawed craft items.Lampshade: If you're good with carving, you could carve a whole shell with neat holes in a pretty pattern.
