WEEK 4 : 17 AUG ~ 21 AUG

BRAINSTORMING

 Our group chose "Recycle Materials" as our random word to develop our ideas on. As a 4 member group, we decided that each of us should take charge of each materials. The material i chose was plastic and my other group members chose metal, glass and textiles.


Here are some of of them which i wrote down.


And doodles of my ideas!


Some of the points were :
  • Gluing a magnet onto the plastic bottle cap to stick notes/photographs onto refrigerators/whiteboards.
  • Adding sand or pebbles onto the bottle cap and use a paperweights.
  • Using the plastic bottles as a coin saving bank.
  • Using plastic spoons to make a paint palette by adding a fastener in the center, it makes it easier to keep too.
  • Tying a plastic bag around your feet to keep your shoes dry.

This is another idea i found that killed 2 birds with 1 stone. We can recycle plastic spoons and bottles to create a 'Spoon Lamp'.

I did thought of recycling bottles to as a flower pot, pen holder and vase. But this gave me an idea to make it more decorative by cutting the sides to make it appear less like a bottle and more like an expensive vase of some sort.

Recycle Reuse Renew Mother Earth Projects: Recycled Soda bottle Garbage Can--neat idea for classroom to do for a park..make kids aware of waste and reusing: Recycled Bottle, Diy Crafts, Mothers Earth, Reuse Recycled, Home Decor, Projects Ideas, Second Life, Sodas Bottle, Plastic Bottle Crafts

This was another idea i saw. In one of my points, i did state to tie the bottle together to create a raft/float. But this was possible too! a trash bin using plastic and soda bottles.

I've learnt that there are countless of ways to recycle materials. So before throwing them out, think of ways to make them useful to you.
