Nowadays, shampoos, hair oils, perfumes, talcs, lotions, what have you, all come in such plastic packing [as in picture above] and make way into our homes. Once empty, a vast majority of them find no further use or reuse and have to be discarded. But some good ones are suitable for other purposes after the original content is used up.
I have seen many people use old Venetian Blinds for labeling their plants in the garden. Since I cannot find the blinds here, I thought of using the spray bottles to label what I planted/sowed where. There will be so many such containers that may be handy too.
Next time I cut up a container, I will think of more artistic patterns. There is one here that got the shape of a carrot and one like a necktie. There will be so many options if we use our own 'recyclables'.
[Names are written with Sharpie pens.]
I hope you also noticed the 'bed dividers'. They are granite pieces I gathered from the stone-slab cutting shop - they throw these waste pieces out in a pile for the landfills. I brought in a few and used it like this, since I cannot even think of wood on the soil due to termite menace.
I have some spare blanks now.
When I write the name on the top, I can still cut up that written portion later if I want to use it for other names in the next season, but the label will be slightly shorter. Squeeze the maximum out of it!
