DIY Weatherproof Outdoor Storage With These Genius Repurposing Ideas

Old rubber hoses are perfect to repurpose for a number of outdoor and indoor DIY projects, including this cool tutorial from YouTube DIYer Teddy Craft Gallery, which creates a stylish large basket from an ordinary green garden hose. Begin by wrapping the hose in a spiral around the end nozzle, securing it at each side with a plastic zip tie. Continue to coil the hose until you have formed the desired diameter of the base of your basket. Once you have, begin to layer the coils upward to form the sides of the basket.

When you reach the desired depth, place one last zip tie at the end, then use the remaining hose to form two loops along the top that serve as handles for the basket. This basket is perfect for holding smaller items outdoors in a cute and outdoorsy way. You can also spray paint it another color to fit your outdoor decor.
