Our budget usually looks tight and we may not be too willing to give up our effortsearned money.
Also, we may not want the trash can to be filled as soon as possible, because that means a lot more in the landfill and on another trip to the dump. (
Sometimes not to mention the smell.
Kitchen on my dorm floor. . . holy crap. )
However, you will be surprised by what you can do with what you usually throw away.
There are five items here that are not only friendly to your wallet, but also nice to the environment.
When I still find the name very disgusting and cheesy, plarn is a genius for a lot of reasons.
It is yarn made of plastic shopping bags.
Not only will it throw away your plastic bag and give you something new to do, it will also help the environment.
Plastic pollution is a major problem in the environment, especially in the ocean.
Not only is plastic bags difficult to recycle, but recycling itself can cause a lot of pollution.
However, the Plarn project will not harm the environment at all.
Making Plarn: Material: Plastic bag 1)
Straighten the plastic bag and put it neatly. 2)
Fold the bag vertically twice and cut off the handle. 3)
Depending on how thick or thin the plarn you want, cut the strips horizontally into bags.
The stripes of 1 inch or more are very strong and more suitable for things like bags, while the stripes of 1/2 are more suitable for lacier or more delicate items. 4)
Remove the part at the bottom.
Now you should leave a bunch of plastic rings. 5)
Use the head knot of the lark to link the ring in the chain (Please see the video below).
Keep the connection loop until you have the desired length.
This makes plarn look good with no knots in it.
If you don\'t mind the knot and prefer to use the whole bag, you can also simply cut the bag and cut it into strips and tie it together.
I am doing bath mats in this way now.
It\'s not so beautiful when I knit it, but hopefully I can knit it at all ends.
When it\'s done, I\'ll update the article to let you guys know how this works out for me.
You can make any knitting or crochet items with plarn.
Making reusable shopping bags is as popular as sandals.
In addition, there are several groups of crochet workers who also use plarn to make sleeping mats for homeless people.
It\'s been a few months since the spam BeadsI has been done with paper and they are fun and easy.
This is a great way to get rid of old magazines or spam, as well as old newspapers, paper bags, Lipton teabag wrappers. . . .
Almost everything made of paper, more or less.
You must know what type of paper you are using.
The stiff card paper like the one used for postcards is not as flexible as the magazine, so beads made of thick paper will look thicker and larger than beads made of thin paper.
Description: Material: waste paper or something like that.
I have also heard that nail polish can be brushed with needles and threads (optional)1)
Put your waste paper in front of you and divide your paper into triangular strips with a pencil.
The height of the triangle determines the width of the bead, while the bottom of the triangle determines the length (oh yes.
I brought you back to fourth grade math with this. .
Also, if you want to color your paper in a different color or color, it\'s time to do so. 2)
Cut out strips3)
Thread the needle, place the needle at the bottom of a triangle, and roll the paper on the needle to create a small cylinder.
Continue to roll until the whole band is tightly rolled up in the shape of beads. 4)
Dip your brush into your shine.
Pat it at the end of the tape until it is flat and then cover the entire bead until it is safely retracted.
Then slide the beads onto the thread to dry.
Reduce waste and go with candy wrapping paper PurseCandy wrapping paper wallet, not just made with candy wrapping paper.
They can be made in chip bags, magazines, newspapers, or something like that.
This is a fun DIY project that you can use to handle what you find at home, even what you just threw away.
Although I haven\'t tried this myself yet, I want to try it in the near future.
Make your own planters disposable plastic bottles look stacked up and when they are not put into garbage they are recycled down into plastic and thrown into the landfill anyway (
A large amount of pollution is also caused by the recycling/lower cycle process).
This fun craft project can help you start growing some new plants and save the planet from more plastic pollution.
If you want to use it for more permanent plants, not just as a starter for seedlings, please note that water is easily infected with mold and algae.
This means that it has to be cleaned regularly, or that the bottom should be painted dark to prevent sunlight from coming in.
Instructions for Use: Material: Xacto knife or equivalent
A circle with two.
Should work inch diameter)rubber band1)
Cut the bottle in half.
You may want to mark the middle point before doing so. 2)
Remove the hat and cover the hole with a thin cloth.
Fix it with a rubber band. 3)
Fill half of the top half of the bottle with dirt. 4)
Put a small plant on the soil.
Then fill the edges with more dirt.
Make sure the root is covered.
You should have about 1 inch space between the dirt and the top of the container. 5)
Put the water in the lower half of the bottle.
Make sure there is enough space so it doesn\'t overflow when you put the top half in the bottom half. 6)
Put the upper half in the lower half, so that the cloth-
Mouth covered in the water. Now it\'s free-
Standing and selfwatering.
Decorate your house with toilet paper, as other items are a priority, so it only took me a bit of time to do the TPR decor.
What I can tell you, though, is that it\'s really hard to roll the toilet paper flat.
Make sure you have a few heavy hardcover books and you plan to level them up for at least a day, but maybe two or three days.
Anyway, a lot of the things you can do with toilet paper rolls are cool, and many times you don\'t even know what their original purpose is.
Hey, you throw them out anyway.
You can do a lot of things with toilet paper rolls.
I only show one project.
But more importantly, you should look at the website that makes the green world.
It\'s full of items that reuse items from your home, including toilet paper rolls.
Instructions for Use: Material: toilet paper
Roll the toilet paper flat.
You can do this task with heavy books or heavy objects. 2.
Cut each toilet roll into five equal parts so you can get five rings from each roll. 3.
Arrange these parts and arrange them according to the design you want.
There are specific things you can do, like flowers, or just a random design. 4.
No matter which two pieces meet, put some glue between the pieces, and then clip them together with a laundry pin.
Let it dry for 30 minutes. 5.
Just hang it on the wall now!
