Hey readers,
Have you noticed the change in the atmosphere lately ? I definitely have !! It's chillier in the morning than usual, a bit dry air has started blowing all day long and evenings are arriving upon us way to fast. It's almost winter. Few of the morning joggers might have dug up their old sweaters too ! If you don't remember where you kept your warm clothes, you better start digging in now. And while you're at it, you might as well take out some of your old stuff like bottles, single sock, sweater that doesn't fit but don't have a heart to donate, etc.Today I will tell you how to recycle those old things and create something new! I'm not going to show you any extensive DIY (do-it-yourself) exercise, but very easy stuff that anyone can follow( especially lazy people like me ) . So here it is !!!
#1. Bottles
So no matter what size of plastic or glass bottles you have, I have DIY ideas for you.
You can put many holes on the cap of the big plastic bottle and use it as a showering can for plants. As it already has a handle to hold, it's easy to pour on plants.
You can put holes on the bottle and plant it inside the pot when manuring for new plant and pour water from above to keep soil moist.

This is one way for gardening lovers to keep their soil moist.

#2. Ladle handle
These can found in kitchen and everyone definitely have few old ones to throw out. I would advice otherwise as these ladle handle can be used as decorative candle holder, maybe right outside your door or in your garden/open sitting area. This idea can come handy if you are holding party at night in your lawn or patio.
#3. Anything of glass
Everyone has a pair of spectacles or used bulbs or some light glass plate lying around which eventually ends up in garbage. Well here's an interesting idea to glam up your room. You can re-use these glass things an "sunlight catcher". All you need is permanent marker of your color choice. Draw patterns or just color some part of the glass and hang it near the window and enjoy the color/s it throws around !
#4. Keys
Next up is re-using old and no longer in use keys by turning them into wind chimes. Interesting, eh ?
#5.Hats
Anyone who has old hat/s lying around that is no longer in style, this one is for you. Just put a hole for wire to pass through and attach the bulb from below. Nice na !
#6. CDs
With songs and videos in mobiles and ipods, old CDs have become redundant and there might be few lying around. So here's how you can use it. Cut them in pieces and use it's reflective part as a decorative item.

#7. Bowls
If you have used bowl that is not in use then you can tie few strings from it and convert it into "bird feeder" and hang it on your terrace or in the garden.
So these were few ideas that I thought are so easy to do and yet receive such a creative result. By posting these ideas, I'm not encouraging you towards not donating your stuff but rather encouraging to use things (that are definitely going out ) once or twice more before throwing it in trash can. The next time you come across such old and not-in-use items, you know what to do.
Did you know DIY improve your IQ by 50 points. How cool is that !!
Until next time...
Have a wicked day, readers !!
