Don’t throw them away — they can be reused in a beautiful recycling project.
If you eat a lot of nuts, you probably love pistachios.
The outer shell of a pistachio, of course, isn’t edible — but that doesn’t mean it can’t be reused creatively. With a bit of imagination, you can turn it into a unique home decoration while reducing waste.
Here’s how to transform pistachio shells into a charming plant pot holder.
What You’ll Need
- 1 glass jar
- Hot glue
- Pistachio shells
- Small beads
- Acrylic paints
- Paintbrushes
Instructions
- Wash and dry the glass jar thoroughly.
- Using hot glue, attach the pistachio shells in groups of four to form little flower shapes.
- Place a bead in the center of each flower for decoration.
- Paint the jar with your favorite acrylic colors.
- Let it dry completely, then use it as a decorative pot for your indoor plants.
A simple, eco-friendly idea — and a lovely way to give those pistachio shells a second life.
