How to reuse old dishes and chopsticks? What are the uses of old dishes and chopsticks?

We all know that bowls and chopsticks are a common type of tableware in the home. Almost all families have bowls and chopsticks. The material of bowls and chopsticks is quite special. It is common for a pair of bowls and chopsticks to be easily chipped or broken. Bowls and chopsticks with chips or cracks are generally not used for eating. So how to deal with the unused bowls and chopsticks at home? Let's take a closer look!

Should we throw away the unused dishes at home?

First of all, of course you can throw away old dishes when you are no longer in use. But don’t just throw them away randomly. You can clean them up and put them next to the trash can. If someone in need sees them, they will take them away.

In fact, unused dishes can also have other uses. For example, if you have pets at home, you can use them to give your pets water and food. You can also use them as flower pots to grow some small plants. In fact, if the dishes are intact, I would keep them. Maybe they will be useful in the future. Because my family never actively throws away old dishes. They are only thrown away when they are bumped or broken. If you throw away broken dishes, it is recommended to pack them tightly and put them next to the trash can instead of directly in the trash can to avoid causing harm to others.

How to deal with unused dishes at home

Planting Pots

① Used bowls:

The depth of the old bowl is high, so more soil can be placed in it. As long as you use electric bricks under the bowl and make a few water seepage holes, you can plant some small green plants. The porcelain of the bowl is generally better and more delicate, which can create a better contrast with the color of the green plants and have a better visual effect.

② Used discs:

The mouth of the old dish basin is shallow, and the mouth of the basin is large. You can put water in the shallow basin and then put some miniature bonsai. Put water in the shallow dish, put a few small stones, and put the miniature bonsai on the bowl. It can increase the humidity of the air.

For some semi-hydroponic plants, you can directly wrap the plants with soil balls with moss. Then put them in a shallow basin, add water to the basin, and keep the soil ball moist through the absorption of the soil and moss, without water accumulation.

Used dishes can be used to plant some small green plants. Please do not litter and increase environmental pollution. Try to make use of waste.

Display as a work of art

We can decorate unused plates, bowls and chopsticks, draw on them or something according to our own preferences, or break a plate and put a small piece of it on the wall or cabinet, which is also a kind of beauty.

Place miscellaneous tableware

The ones without gaps can be used to store small tableware, such as fruit forks, small spoons, or dishwashing wire balls and other tools.

Put the key

The shoe cabinet at the entrance is used to store keys. When family members come back, they put their keys there when they enter and take them when they go out without having to look for them everywhere.

Mixing mask, hair dye

Women can use these bowls to mix ingredients when making facial masks or dyeing their hair at home.

Decorative floor

You can break the bowls into pieces, inlay them on the cement floor, and pave a unique path.

Packing food for pets

If you have pets at home, you can pick out some nice-looking bowls and plates, small bowls for them to eat in, and bowls for water are also fine.

It can be regarded as a new tableware for your pet. I believe the pet will be happy too, killing two birds with one stone.

Donate

If most of the tableware in your home is intact, you can donate the dishes and chopsticks as well when you donate clothes or books.

After all, people in many places don't even have extra clothes, so they probably need to disinfect their bowls and chopsticks before they can be used normally.

What is the saying about the unused dishes and chopsticks at home?

You can throw it away, but I personally don’t recommend throwing away the bowl. In a sense, the bowl represents career.

The homonym of “bowl” is “wan”, which means “finish” if you throw away the bowl, which means your career will be ruined as well.

Of course, this statement is entirely up to the individual, and you don't have to stick to it.
