Graters come and go: if you cook a lot, it won’t take long for them to become dull and stop doing their job.
However, don’t rush to throw this boring item into the trash: it can be transformed into amazing things! For example, in…
jewelry organizer
An old grater can find a second life as a display case for your earrings, bracelets and necklaces. You can do this in two ways: simply wash and place your old kitchen utensil in the room, then pre-paint and decorate it to your liking.

Cutlery rack
And again, everything is simple: the grater can be placed on the work surface, and this will be enough to place spatulas, whisks and other kitchen utensils on it. But there is another option: you can add a bottom and then attach the grater to the wall – in this case the handle will become an excellent towel rack.
Flashlight
Experienced craftsmen can turn a grater into a stylish table lamp, but we prefer less complex options that don’t require any electrical work. It’s hard to imagine a simpler project for repurposing a grater than a flashlight. In fact, all you have to do is insert a candle or LED light into it.
Singing wind
We love ideas that can be implemented in just a few minutes – that’s exactly how much time it will take to turn an old grater into a musical talisman for your garden or home with a rustic interior.
Christmas decoration
A grater can become a decorative element – a few spruce branches, a red ribbon and hemp laces are enough. If you like the aged version, before decorating the grater, color it with strongly brewed natural coffee.
Watch
Again, nothing complicated, just buy a small battery-operated clock mechanism in any market: the side of the grater with large holes is ideal for installing it. You can paint the grater itself or leave it “authentic”.
Pencil pot
If the grater has a plastic top, simply remove it to transform it into an organizer for pencils, rulers and markers. But you can take a more complicated route: make a background and hang the grater on the wall.
Photo support
It is very simple to turn a grater into a photo stand – you can choose the style of decoration yourself. Paint it, for example, in a color that matches the interior, or artificially age it to give it a vintage look.
It’s not just a reusable hanger: here’s what you can make from an unnecessary hanger, an old pillowcase or a bottle of laundry gel.
