If you have an old fire pit that you are not using you can always find a different use for it. Below you will find a few ideas and suggestions on how to use it.

It can be especially useful to use the old fire pit when you are having an outdoor party. You can start by using it as a center point for your barbecue.

First, start by cleaning out the fire pit

backyardYou don’t want any old debris left in the fire pit. Once it is all cleaned out you can then add a strong metal tray that fits in the center of the fire pit.

Since most fire pits are in a circular motion, you will need a platter that matches. Place the tray into the center of the fire pit. You can use this area for appetizers.

Many of your guests will find it to be fun to get their appetizers from the center of the fire pit. To add a little bit of extra decoration to the fire pit, you can put a few decorative flowers around the edges of the fire pit.

You can either use fresh flowers or fake flowers to decorate the edge of the fire pit.

Decorate your old fire pit

You will find this to be a great way to add an extra touch of décor to your yard. If you don’t want to place food in the fire pit you can use it for a wedding ceremony to hold all of the favors.

You can decorate the top of the fire pit with a ribbon and allow the ribbon to drape down. You can then put the favors in the middle of the fire pit and have them passed out to guests on the way out.

One final suggestion for the fire pit is to use it as a cake holder

This will keep the bugs down to a minimum. I would recommend also using natural bug repellents, such as flowers that bugs naturally don’t like. You can place the flowers on the top of the fire pit that is known to deter bugs.

This will help to keep the bugs away from the cake in the center of the fire pit. These are just a few creative ideas and suggestions on how to use your old fire pit.
