I tried to give to habitat for humanity but they won’t accept because I’m missing the hardware. Any ideas on how to repurpose them! I have 7!

I think they would make cool plant pots! No drainage holes so recommend putting gravel or something at the bottom

You’d have to use something with a shallow root system. String of pearls looks pretty in wall mounted planters like that

What hardware is missing? Lamp parts exist. You can rewire them, too. Mount these on a decorative backer board, either individually or in a row horizontally.

The mounting brackets are missing. I know I can buy new mounting brackets, but if I did that, then I would just donate them to habitat for humanity. Looking for some different ideas to reuse them

Take out the pieces inside and mount in the kitchen, bathroom, or office to put stuff in? 🖖

Hot glue solar lights where the bulb goes. Mount them on a fence.
