Many parents will know the struggle of buying lots of things for their babies, which they quickly grow out of. But there's a genius way to reuse your old cot.
If that old cot is taking up a lot of room, why not turn it into something practical instead? It'll save you space and money, which is a win-win.
Recently parents have been sharing the genius way you can transform them into a wall planter for your garden.
One mum demonstrated the genius idea by revealing that the base of the cot can be used to hang plant pots, due to the slats in the design.
She wrote, 'Cot bed base painted , ikea 50p clip on tubs with holes made in the bottom and some plants given to me from a friend ... tada 😍👍🏻'
This clever hack is easily customisable, and you can spray paint it whatever colour you want so it suits your garden space.
