Hello all...new member here.

So glad to have stumbled on this forum :0)

How I re-used DVD-R/CD-R plastic cake boxes
===========================================
(These are the containers your disks come in
and they come in short to tall sizes)

1. Inverted and used as see-thru rag holder

2. Inverted and used as see-thru plastic mesh holder

***and they can nest inside each other too***

3. The spindles I use to hold small pieces of twine and
rope which I wind around and hold together with twist-
tie

4. The spindles I use to put stack up smaller lengths of
garden wire (the green coated kind).

**********************************
OTHER possible uses...
**********************************

= Drill or melt holes with heated screwdriver and use as
see-thru planter?

= As a scooper

= Drill holes in spindle base and mount on wall as hook?

= As a mod-style plant pot by decorating with paint pens?

= Hold spool of rope?

= Cut paper towels in half and use to hold half-roll?

= Shallow height could be used as drawer organizer

I am looking forward to seeing the ideas that follow!

I used my "dust cover" from the spindle of CDrs inverted and drilled two holes in the side and now it is a semi-hydroponics pot for my orchid.
