If you have an old rake head or find one cheap at a thrift store or yard sale you can easily repurpose it into a wine glass holder.
DIY household weblog Tattered Style recommends mounting the rake head with a few wood screws. If your decor is not rustic or eclectic enough to pull off the look you can paint the rake head so it does not stand out quite-so-much.

User noooitaremybirthday from crafting forum Craftster offered the tip on creating free chip clips from hangers you most likely already have. Just saw the clips off the hanger and you're good to go.
Unexpected Chip Clips | Craftster via RedditIf you have little space for a garden and want to grow some herbs you can inexpensively mount mason jars to a board with pipe clamps. If you already have the mason jars on hand you can easily do this for less than $10.
Household weblog Not Just a Housewife shares this tip for growing small vegetables in any sunny spot of your house. Go ahead and fill the mason jars with potting soil and seedlings. Screw on the clamps to your board first, attach the board to your wall, and then have someone hold the jars in place while you tighten the clamp. Tightened properly you shouldn't have to worry about the jars coming loose.
Mason Jar Wall Planter | via Apartment TherapyWe recently shared a number of things you can do with an old smartphone, but Redditor hepdd remind us that we left out one of the most obvious uses: any cellphone, activated or not, can still make emergency calls.
When you activate a new phone (or slip your SIM card into a new phone), your old phone ceases to have cell and data access—though it can still make emergency calls. So, if you have an old phone that's sitting around doing nothing, you might as well stash it in your glove box, the pocket of your big winter jacket, or wherever else you can think of. That way, if you get into a situation and you've lost your phone, left it somewhere else, or it's just plain run out of battery, you can still make a 911 call if you need to. Heck, you can even use this if you've repurposed your phone as, say, a music player for your car—just remember that no matter what you've repurposed it to do, it can always be an emergency phone as well.
