| I called it make do, because I have ideas running around my head, every time I see a bit of rubbish I dont think "I should pick that up and put it in the bin" I think "hmm what could I make that into?".
One idea, although I havnt put it into pratice yet. Is making HESCO Barriers out of empty paint pots (Tamiya pots) or the old round photo film boxes (I havnt seen any for ages). And I have an idea on how to make them into said item but I didn't want to share untill I had tried it myself.
1: Clean pot.
2: Cut out a strip of paper, suger paper will work good for the effect. And glue it to the side of the pot.
3: Get some thin wire (e.g. strip the plastic of an electrical wire) and cut it into lengths the same length as the pot (top to bottom) and glue it to the paper, equal space apart.
4: Cut some more wire, long enough to wrap around the pot, and again stick to the pot
*If you don't feel like playing around with wires, a bit fiddley maybe, then try small 5mm maths grid paper.
5: Cut out some sand paper the same diameter as the pots lid, then glue on.
**I havn't tried this, so it may or may not work. Also you may have to 'tweek' the method. |
