Here is my latest recycled project.
We buy envirocare sensitive body and hair cleanser. It comes in different sizes but we buy the 5 litre container and it lasts us a little over a year.I have been thinking other then putting them into the recycle bin, what can I do with them. A few years ago we used to take them back and they would be returned to the company and refilled,but apparently for health reasons they stopped doing this, which was a shame.Any way back to thinking of ways to reuse them,I thought what about a peg container/carrier. So I cut the section out as you can see in the photo with a cutter, which was very easy to do. It has a handle so makes it easy to carry out to the clothes line. What do others think, would it be some thing you would make yourself. I would love to hear your thoughts, please post and share. What else could they be used for ? You could put a few drainage holes in the bottom and grow herbs or plants maybe a strawberry plant or two.
Great idea and I have just the bottle here for this project :]
ReplyDeleteWas thinking they would be great for storing Lego!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea Sherrie, I think it could be used for a variety of things...

We use 2litre juice containers in a similar way.
ReplyDeleteWe have an on-site caravan and I cut some bottles down and put the toiletries for showering in them. It kept them dry and was easy to carry to the shower block.
I have one in the van with similar things in.
Hubby uses a couple in the shed for screws and things. I have them in the garden shed for hose bits and small things I don't want to lose...
We cut the juice containers differently though and they wouldn't be as strong but we can all use what we have on hand for similar projects.

That is very cool, well done on the recycling.
ReplyDeleteHey, nice job Sherrie. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sherrie! I'll be sure to remember this next time I need a new peg holder :)
ReplyDeletei need a new peg holder, but don't buy anything with containers like that,,
ReplyDeleteI'll have a look at the local recycle place to see if there is anything there...
very sturdy
Great timing! I was just saying to DH yesterday that we need a new peg bag.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherrie, Thought I'd pop over to visit. Great little peg carrier-very clever. My hubby Petal is always reusing items like this in his shed. Maa.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea .
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Sherrie, and looks really good too. I hang my clothes under our house, so leave the pegs on the line. However, I might use your idea about planting things in this type of container. PS received the cards in the mail today, and they are beautiful... I've already used one for a friend's birthday. Thanks so much :)
