DIY recycling: from a detergent jag to an african mask

Here's a great & fun idea on how to reuse old detergent jags! You can play with your kids and make your very own africa influenced masks and even a totem pole!

For other important instructions click here.

Extra tip: as you can see in the first picture, these "masks" don't have to be african. You can play and search for some interesting portret and then try to make it out of a jag. Or maybe you could start with a family photo!

A simple upcycle idea: what to with an old milk jug?

After you already made a broom, a dustpan, a soap holder and a flower pot for your temporary home, here's one more simple idea - make a practical plant watering can!

Extra tip: pick the size of a jug depending on the size of the pot.

Upcycled detergent bottles: reuse detergent bottles and turn them into a hardware storing place for your workshop

Have you noticed how detergent bottles, detergent jugs or detergent containers are neglected in the whole recycle - upcycling story? Well, at this page we haven’t forgotten about those.

Here's a simple idea for the reuse of old detergent bottles, ideal if your hubby (or you!) like to keep a well stocked supply of nails, screws and the like.

Extra tip: The bottles can be used as hardware storage in a workshop, but you can use them for storing all sorts of thingies, although, I must say, they seem pretty "at home" in a workshop or a garage.

What to do with a bunch of milk jugs ?!

Does your love of milk often leave you stumbling among piles of empty milk jugs? In need of some new curtains?

Here’s a swell idea – milk jug curtains!!

It really doesn’t seem very complicated! So - go ahead and make some new curtains for your own or  for your childrens’ room!

Extra tip: I don’t see a reason why you shouldn't paint it! Maybe in a lighter color that will make the light in the room seem softer, or perhaps you could color each square in a different shade!
