DIY: Recycling & Reusing Plastic : Part I

If there was stone age, iron age, and bronze age, then today is the plastic age. Everything is made out of plastic. But the unsolvable problem of plastic has created an alarming issue these days. From grocery to furniture to surgery, plastic elements, plastic food containers, plastic bottles, plastic bags etc are very common components which we use for one time and throw out without even thinking that how much problem it may cause. We are literally living in the age of plastic.

Plastic is light and durable but it is not biodegradable and takes a lot of energy to make. So why we'll waste so much energy and resources. Here the best possible way to recover these wasted energy and resources is to recycle them.

According to wikipedia "Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables."

Here I'm going to show you some plastic recycling ideas that you can do at your home hassle free and with a few resources. 

  • Reusing Plastic Bottles as Food Containers:



Plastic bottle is constructed of plastic. We typically use them to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo etc. 


Plastic water or soft drink bottles are easily reusable. We can use them as a container to store grocery products. It helps to cut down our cost of buying expensive food containers as well as utilizing the used materials for good.

DIY: Felt Leaf Cushion Cover

DIY means 'Do It Yourself'. Believe me I didn't even know the actual meaning of DIY. I only knew that DIY projects shows tutorial, step-by-step instructions or details information from which I can make an item by myself. First I encountered DIY projects when I googled something with instruction to make at home and each time I saw that those projects contains a headline with "DIY: XXXXX". So I again googled what does DIY means and I found the actual meaning.

I have a weak point for DIY cushions. they looks so beautiful that I always lost myself among which to start first. I have a huge collection of DIY cushion designs which you can make at your home with limited resources easily. Here I want to confess that non of the designs is made by me. I just found them in different websites, pages or blogs and post together so that you can get a huge cushion collection at a single page. I'll post the actual web address of those designs so that the actual creator get the honor and credit for it.



This cushion is made of felt leaves. what you have to do is to cut the felt sheet into leaf shape of your choice of color and sew it just like the photo. the basic cushion cover have to be single colored so the it focuses the leaves beautifully.
