Sometimes we end up throwing stuff in the trash, and after a month, we regret it, so try to be creative and give a new life to your old furniture.
5. Makeup cases
Do you know that makeup case you have in your room with a few makeup products in it? Well, as soon as you finish with the products, you’ll probably throw the case away.
But if you think about it, small cases can really come in handy sometimes, especially when there’s a trip coming, you always search for little boxes to fit some road kits.
That’s why makeup cases should be used as storage after they served their use as containers for makeup. Instead of going to the nearest store to buy a plastic kit, simply use one of these cases or boxes to put some travel essentials.
6. CD’s
Cd’s are after all made out of plastic, which is one of the major toxic pollutants out there. That’s why we should do our best to avoid plastic waste. It starts by stopping for items made of plastic, but when it comes to CD’s you probably have them hidden somewhere in your house, many of them are old and damaged.
So what can you do with an old cd? The easiest thing you can do with these items is turning them into decorations; from cutting them in small pieces and gluing them to the wall to making a fun shape, or simply turning them into cup coasters by decorating the CDs with fabric or paint.
Ultimately, if you don’t want to use the CD’s for anything, don’t throw them away in the normal trash. There are organizations out there like the Back Thru the Future Technology Disposal and the CD recycling center of America that accept donations through the mail. This way, you can send them your old cd’s to be destroyed and recycled safely.
7. Old clothes
If you enjoy vintage wear and are obsessed with being creative with fabrics, then you should never throw away any old piece of clothing you might have. There are so many things you can create with fabric. You can transform an adult t-shirt into a kids one just by adding some color and cute patches.
You can also grab a pair of jeans you don’t wear as much and dye them a different color so you can wear them again. Or, you can even find old pieces of fabric and join them all together and create a tote bag made of leather, denim, cotton, and so on. When you create something original, nobody is going to have exactly the same item as you. So if you thrive on being unique, then this is the way to go.
Now that you’ve learned about how to reuse your old items, you should never throw them away, why not make a hobby out of it? Whether you’re feeling bored at home or if you’re looking for an activity to spend time in, restoration and finding new things to recycle around your house is a great and healthy way to contribute to a better world.
It’s so fun to lay down the phone and tv remote for a while and concentrate on something else. We guarantee you will feel very proud of yourself in the end, even if you don’t like the final result, it will give you the strength to do it again and improve!
