This up-cycle project is the result of a split second decision to consider a second life for a tired item. Usually, I either toss or donate an item that is passed it’s prime. And, that’s almost what I did when my crock pot shaped soup bowls began to chip. Here’s a fun way to up-cycle chipped dishes.
This up-cycle project works great for those small chipped dishes that might not be table worthy for guests, but still, have a lot of potential uses.
I had a few crock soup bowls with chips and I got this idea that these cute bowls be perfect on my tiny deck. It was the perfect size to add to my tiny cylinder table. I pulled those clumps of grass that always migrate to the other side of the border. You know those clumps of grasses that think the grass is greener on the other side? wink
The clumps of grass worked out well because they are easy to maintain and they grow vertical. The grass added some much-needed greenery to a tiny space.
This would be a fun craft project this summer with kids, cousins and gran, children. Everyone goes home with chipped dishes filled with freshly pulled grass! 
Before you leave, here is another fun up-cycle if you have a small side table in the basement or garage.
