We have a lot of old items at home, and we have several options regarding them, either we keep them stacked in the house, we get rid of them, or we use them for different purposes, which is the civilized and environmentally friendly option, if you, my lady, are among the people who behave well with regard to things old, we will give you some great suggestions.
How do we make use of old things
Water or juice containers
- You can cut the top of the bottle, then use it to plant roses and decorate the garden, and to add a touch of beauty to it, you can wrap it in aluminum foil, or paint it with colours.
- Use the top as a funnel for pouring liquids.
- You can cut the bottoms of bottles, stick them together to form a ball with an open bottom, use them as lampshades, or use them as boxes to collect buttons and pins.
- Use it to store grains, such as lentils, bulgur, and more.
- Some people use it to preserve grape leaves, for use in the winter.
Newsprint
- Use newspaper to polish the glass.
- If you have a plastic container to store food, but its smell is not pleasant, and the food gains a taste, just put pieces of newspaper in the container, then close it and leave it for the whole day, you will be surprised by the result.
- You can stuff your shoes with newspaper when you stash them from season to season.
- Divide the newspaper and then roll it so that it becomes thin cylinders, then arrange it and stick it together to form a large hollow cylinder, so it becomes a waste basket for the children’s rooms, or you can wrap the newspaper completely and then arrange and paste it in the form of a box in which the children put their toys.
Damaged car wheels
- Put the wheel in the garden, then fill it with dirt, and plant roses in it. You can paint it with different colors, and coordinate their places with respect to each other.
- Use the wheels as chairs in the garden, and a table. You can cover the opening with burlap, pieces of wood, wrap the wheel with ropes, or stuff it with cotton.
- Hang the wheel with ropes in the garden, to form a swing for your children.
- Arrange three wheels of the same size on top of each other, and use them as waste containers, and you can color them to give a beautiful look.
Old clothes buttons
- You can make a beautiful frame for a mirror, or for a photo.
- Stick them on your old shoes, for a new look.
- Stick them on pickle boxes, such as olives or used cucumber pickles, to turn them into a pencil case.
- If you have a problem with losing your earrings, attach them to the studs and put them in an ironing box.
shoe boxes
- You can turn it into fun games for your children, such as a bed for your child's doll, or a garage for your child's cars.
- You can use it inside the large jars to divide the space and keep things in a more organized manner.
- Cover the box with a nice cover, make a slit in the top and use it as a tissue box.
- You can use your little children's shoe carton, with a group of cylindrical cartons that are inside toilet paper rolls, by placing the cylindrical cartons inside the shoe carton, then decorating it. Now you can use them to put your makeup brushes, eyeliner pens, or to place children's pens and colors.
