flowerpot

Look how beautiful this DIY planter with a vintage funnel is! Simply add some soil to the top cone and plant your favorite flowers, hanging the funnel from a branch or the ceiling of your terrace.

Chandelier

From funnel to chandelier in a flash! Turn it upside down, insert the electrical cord into the funnel, screw on the fitting and the corresponding bulb, and hang the lamp from the ceiling.

Candlesticks

Do you like the soft, warm glow of candles? Take old funnels, turn them upside down, and insert candles into the narrow openings. To create atmosphere, we recommend placing several funnels side by side and placing them in a corner of the house.

Wire holder

You can also use old funnels as DIY thread holders. Simply secure the funnel to a stand like the one shown in the example, hang it on the wall, and insert the roll of thread or string into the funnel, allowing it to come out of the narrow opening.

Craft for children

How about reusing an old funnel to create a cute robot with the kids? You'll need boxes, old cutlery, popsicle sticks, cupcake liners, buttons, and a small funnel to use as a hat.
