Metallic circles with a humble shine can be spotted below.  Metallic things that once have been loved and adored for their functionality and their shape, all these are today an item of the past. Today, the luckiest of the round items is being the subject of creative DIY projects. Re-purposing bike rims lying around might sound like an activity for today`s so called hipster group but bear with me, you will be amazed.

Old bike wheels, the rims especially can be used to create actual green igloos in which the metal is completed by climbing plants, old bike rims can also be used to make pot racks, small fences and even picture frames for your wall decor.
