REUSE EVERYDAY ITEMS


Many items found around the home can be used for different purposes. So before you throw those items away, think about how they can be reused. Below are some suggestions of how to reuse those everyday bits and pieces.

Carrier bags and twist ties: carrier bags can be reused in the shops or as bin bags around the house. Paper bags make useful wrapping paper and twist ties can be used to secure loose items together, such as computer wires.

Envelopes: by sticking labels over the address you can reuse envelopes. Alternatively, old envelopes can be used as scrap paper to make notes on.

Jars and pots: by cleaning glass jars and small pots, you can use them as small containers to store odds and ends.

Newspaper, cardboard and bubble wrap: make useful packing material when moving house or to store items.

Old clothes: old clothes can be made into other textile items such as cushion covers or teapot cosies.

Packaging Such as foil and egg cartons: they can be donated to schools and nurseries, where they can be use in art and craft projects.

Scrap paper: it can be used to make notes and sketches. Don’t forget to recycle it when you no longer need it.

Tyres Old tyres: they can be given to your local petrol station where they will be recycled. Or you could make a tyre-swing by tying a strong rope around a tyre and attaching it to a tree.

Used wood: it can be used in woodcrafts for making objects such as a spice rack or a bird table. Alternatively it could be used as firewood.
