OLD LAUNDRY BASKET, DON’T THROW AWAY
How many times has it happened to you that your laundry basket has broken ? These are very fragile items made of really cheap materials and often leave a lot to be desired. Indeed, you don’t usually invest much of your savings in purchasing these items, which you buy at the first store near your door.
And that’s precisely why, even when tested by the weight of our soaked laundry, they lose their various parts or break beyond repair. If you have an old laundry basket that’s broken and you don’t know what to do with it, we advise you not to throw it away.
In the meantime, we’d like to point out that these are materials that aren’t easily recycled, as they consist of multiple types of plastic and hard microplastics. And in general, you should be aware that, apart from packaging, almost no plastic is recyclable.
That’s why it’s important to think twice before throwing away such a product. And also because today we’ll explain how to recycle a broken basket to create something incredible that you’ll surely use again and again. In fact, recycling old items is always the best thing.
How to recycle a broken basket
All you need is a broken dish, some jute fabric, a rope and a few wooden sticks.
First, you’ll need to cut your basket to the desired shape with scissors. If it’s too big for you, for example, you can make it smaller to make it more manageable and easier to carry.
Then start lining the basket by cutting the jute fabric and attaching it to your basket, perhaps with hot glue. Once that’s done, you can create a kind of stable volume with the help of wooden dowels.
This process will ensure that your broken stick is no longer flexible and becomes rigid. After securing the sticks with hot glue, you can now wrap a rope around the entire basket, which will secure it well and serve as additional decoration.
Remember that you can use the fabric in any color you like to add a touch of cheer to your creation . You can use your recycled rug however you like: we recommend taking it with you on your picnics.
We are sure that this basket, made with your own hands, will make you want to use it and prepare a good meal that you can enjoy with your whole family in a flower meadow.
