Repurposing an Old Walker

I have a free walker someone left in our donation station. If I ever need it, it will be easy to "disassemble" and use in about 3 minutes.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

5 ft craft or lath strips 14", 18", and 24" ($1.25)
4 6" fabric strips
2-6 planters
2-5 decorations

Steps:

I took the Velcro straps from the basket and retied them to the top of the walker with the fabric strips. Then I evenly placed the wooden slats on the lower ledge.

I had two outdoor light fixture covers and inverted them making places for me to put my faux flowers. Then I put them in the basket.

Now it's just a matter of choosing the flowers, (weighed down with rocks), decorations, and planters. N-JOY!!
