My friend, Jean sent me more helpful ideas and I'd like to share with you the ones I'm using.
I'm going to be looking for a cereal container to put in our car for garbage. It looks like a handy thing to keep in your car.
Mom has a habit of keeping these bread tags around. I like the idea of using it to find the start of your tape.
Art really liked the idea of using finials for doorstops. Check out this link clearly explaining the steps to make it.
And here's MY favorite! The cord for my iPhone charger is always falling from my desk. Here's a nice way to charge your cellphone conveniently. This website called Make It and Love It explains how to make it step by step.
I decided to make it this morning.
I used a large hand soap refill size plastic bottle. I wanted to experiment first before I made one with the Suave hand lotion bottle (below) that I'm waiting for.
Next time I need to make the front a little deeper to make it easier to retrieve the cellphone.
I had a hard time cutting the plastic bottle. My scissors and exacto knife are not sharp enough, but I persevered.
I then got some of that left over contact paper from my Quaker Oats garbage container project and covered the bottle with it.
I rather like the effect. Yup... Mighty pleased.
I'm looking forward to trying out that Suave bottle because the label peels off easily. The only problem is cutting it into the correct shape.
Art says I should figure out how to make a container to charge his Fire.

Those are awesome and I really like the trash one. I need something like that for my car. Think I will try it.
ReplyDeleteI have so many empty plastic containers saved to reuse, just about every shape and size.
ReplyDeleteyou could open up a home business-great ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! BTW, my sister tried your tip about putting some apple cider vinegar with a few drops of dish soap into a glass, and the fruit flies literally jumped in! It works great...
ReplyDeleteoh I love them all, I'm doing a couple today, thanks so much, great ideas, thankyou to Jean as well!
ReplyDeleteThose are just great ideas.....I want to make the phone charger one!!
ReplyDeleteA lady I worked with got me putting a pencil under the end of the tape, I like your tip better.
Wow, these are really cleaver ideas. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove recycle crafts....bookmarked the site too. Thanks. As a result of your plastic bag tutorial, I am still crocheting plastic bag bags!
ReplyDeleteL. from W.
Great ideas Kay, love all of them.
ReplyDeletewhat great tips, love the car garbage can idea!
ReplyDeleteSuper ideas. I'm going to bookmark this page, especially for the car garbage (will need two, his car and our car), the tape-end-finder, and the cell-phone charging one. Dick has a big thing like an iPhone, so I'll have to check all my lotion bottles (not counting the hundreds he has brought home from hotels, which are good for nothing).

You're full of handy ideas today. Why can't I think of such clever ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, I am going to copy all .I do have a small trash bin in my car but this cereal container looks much better.The cellphone holder is a simply wow idea.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention ,here in India we get cell phone covers made with fabric in various designs and style .I will mail you few pictures soon.
ReplyDeleteActually, my cellphone is covered with a special cover that is waterproof and drop-proof. :-) My daughter and son-in-law got it for us. I think you're supposed to be able to drop it in 6 feet of water or drop it from 6 feet or something like that. Your fabric covers sound very intriguing.
DeleteThese are some good ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas...and what great ways to recycle!
