In every household, there are often old or unused items that people hesitate to throw away due to sentimental reasons. However, keeping these items takes up valuable space in the house.
Fortunately, there are ways to recycle these old items and turn them into useful objects. Here are 10 small tips to help you repurpose your old items:
1. Disposable plastic cup
 |
| You can repurpose a disposable plastic cup by using it as a measuring tool for water when making milk or preparing food. |
2. Dyeing hair with soy sauce
 |
|
If you dyed your hair and don’t like the color, you can use soy sauce as a natural hair mask. Apply soy sauce to your hair for 30 minutes before washing, wrap it in plastic wrap. This method will give your hair a shiny and beautiful reddish brown color, saving you money on expensive hair dyes. |
3. Lego toys as keychain hangers
 |
| You can use Lego toys to make creative and effective keychain hangers, making it easier to find your keys. |
4. Plastic clips for holding charger cables
 |
| Use plastic clips to keep your charger cables organized and prevent them from tangling. |
5. Hanging glass cups from a garden rake
 |
| Repurpose an old garden rake by cleaning it, removing the handle, repainting it, and using it as a unique wine glass holder in your kitchen. |
6. Polish leather shoes with olive oil
 |
|
In addition to its uses for skin and hair, olive oil can also be used as a natural polish for leather shoes, bags, and wallets. Applying olive oil will darken and shine your leather accessories. Note: The more oil you apply, the darker the leather will become. |
7. Ensure safety with clothespins
 |
|
Use a clothespin to hold a nail while hammering it into the wall. This will prevent your hand from being hit by the hammer. |
8. Use metal trays for baking
 |
|
While metal trays are commonly used for baking and molding, they can also be used to hold sauces, spices, and food during camping or outdoor barbecue parties. |
9. Use pasta to light candles
 |
|
If you need a long match to light a candle in a deep glass jar, you can use a piece of pasta as a makeshift candle lighter. |
10. Create a water faucet using a plastic shovel
 |
| To fill a large container with water when the water outlet is not designed for direct draining, you can use a plastic shovel with a hanging hole on the handle. Place the shovel facing the water flow, and let the water drain directly into the container placed below. |
