Corwin Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 white erasers can also make a neat ginger bread house. Whit boxers make ok flour sacks. Plastic easter eggs. Not the kinder ones, these are real egg shaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Pine needles can be woven into coiled baskets with brown or beige sewing thread. Hub's old skivvy drawers: bed ticking, bed linens, paint rags, tack cloths. I made the potbelly stove in the Orchid general store from a plastic Easter egg, a childproof med cap, a Sonic straw, four beads and a jewelry finding.

sommerstern7 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Okay, I've got another. Let's see if anyone gets this--pop can pull tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Totally lost track here. Thin white wire like comes on lamps that I cut off because I don't wire my houses, can be wrapped around a needle and it makes a great contemporary curly phone cord. paper clips can be shaped into clothes hangers. Restaurant jelly containers make good cat litter boxes with pencil shaving litter. Single serving coffee creamer containers make perfect waste baskets. This is an easy one. Old watches.

Corwin Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 pop can pull tabs can make cool modern picture frames maybe in a borrowers house? Old watches can make neat steam engines. What can 1 leater pop bottle be used for? empty of coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalygirl Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 cut the top off the soda bottle and you can use it for water while you paint. Could also use it as a tool holder. How about a pop cap from a glass beer or soda bottle? The kind you need a bottle opener for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Paint it silver and you have a pie plate!!! Heres a easy one Normal bottle caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sommerstern7 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Didn't we already do normal bottle caps and someone said turn them upside down and you have pie plates, or right side up and you could put them on a 3 1/2" dowel section attach to the floor and you have an instant bar stool. Much cooler to actually use beer caps for that one though. Birthday Candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Jen said, beer caps pie plates was my awnser, there are always multiple uses for things. Birthday candles can be cut down to make mini candles or melted, poured through a straw with a string in it,then cut down. Or pillars in a 1/4 scale house. Any use for a Aerosil cap other than a table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sommerstern7 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Okay, I am actually confused on this one. What kind of cap comes on an aerosal can? They are not always the same. And how does it make a table? Please explain . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Its a cylinder, about two inches high, flat top, empty bottom perfect when dressed, to make a table, jut make a cloth for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 NEW ITEM-the plastic cap on the end of a syringe and not the shield-Thought they would make great mini vases or pitchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corwin Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Glue applicators, pencils if cut down and colored,turned ones can make eat toy solders if painted with very thin sharpies.

sommerstern7 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Aerosol can cap: put several together to make 1:12 scale climbing/playground equipment.

sommerstern7 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Nasty, but if you must; use it in a felt-work sculpture of your own pet. Good God! I hope that is all you use it for. Anything else is just gross, so please don't stuff pillows with it or make a wig for your lady with it. Throw that crap away along with my used tampon applicators and cigarette butts. I think Holly called it HAZWASTE :thumbup: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
