Awesome!
Excellent promotion of recycling, I believe this is from the Netherlands.
innovative ideas.
recycling is much appreciated.
I wish they'd explain what some of the stuff did.
Most of those items aren't even used. Cool ideas, though. Good job.
How about crediting the original creators?
What's that thing with eggbeater filled with cottonballs for?
Most of these are impractical. I mean, are you really going to use an old, nasty latex glove to pour oil on your food?
I thought it would be more obvious, but the eggbeater + cottonballs = cottonball dispenser
Awesome!
WE want more!
I took the eggbeater as a practical way for holding cotton balls. They get everywhere and it seems just about every container I get for mine is too big or too small.
I think the water wings as lampshade and tennis ball as ear protection are possibly dangerous, but I really like most of the others.
As to the complaint that these are impractical, there are a number of things that I buy that are new but which I can't use for the purpose I intended to buy them and I can't return them... latex gloves purchased in the wrong size, teabags that I can't stand once I've actually tasted the tea, and so on. I hate throwing stuff like that away even though it's still "good". Creative thinking like these suggestions is something I should do more of.
Personally, I thought the bicycle ones were the most useful. The "windscreen" flyswatter to protect from ingesting bugs. The scrubbing sponges to protect your bare feet on sharp bike pedals. The ruler reflector to keep cars at a safe sideways distance. Very good ideas!
And, I liked the idea of using panty elastic as a dainty & slightly naughty accent band, but since I'm a man, I'll probably twist an old "fruit of the loom" elastic waist band around my arm a few times for a rugged & powerful accent. *heh* :-)
crazy europeans... i love 'em.
should be called, "Top 17 Most Creative Uses For Old Stuff...that I took off other people and did not mention their names because I'm a douchebag."
WHY WOULD YOU GIVE A BABY A CACTUS TO SUCK ON!?!?
why is every blog a rehash of something else someone saw on the internet. make something or post nothing. CREDIT THE PEOPLE YOU "BORROW" CONTENT FROM
Wait...so you put your tea bags in the toilet and then make more tea bags out of tissues and flowers?
A hell of a lot of this stuff I didn't get, but I really loved the CD greenhouse. And the cactus dummy. I added this blog to my blogroll just for the sheer damned inventiveness of this stuff. Even if it isn't their original idea.
All great, but what's the purpose of the cactus thing?!?! Anyway, this all looks like some weird solutions for total lefties. Get a job and buy new stuff!

The cactus thing is weird.
Why don't just buy new stuff? Some of this "creative use" is simply ridiculous.
This is the gayest, stupidest, most worthless bunch of crap I've come across in a long time...and what a waste of 2 minutes on my part.
Wow! really enjoyed the recycling :)
having the credit listed would be a positive: otherwise, these made me think of the 'tests' that you guess the meaning of the squiggles / lines, when really the 'meaning' is subjective.
thanks for the laughter and the 'hhmmm!' - )
hehe ...
hilarious shit ...
creative as hell ...
wish i could be in one of those pics ...
hehe ...

My thoughts exactly, how this ever got digged is beyond me
The cactus pacifier is very effective for teaching your kid to stop using them ;-)
wow, really awesome.
Am going to make a cdcase box when a get home.
There's a valid point to be made for crediting the original authors / artists.
There is no valid point for rehashing the same complaint around a gazillion times (and was that not the complainers' problem with this post in the first place? Rehashing?).
A lot of blog posts do not present original material but collect, assemble and group existing material. This is very, very useful (comparable to the work of a librarian).
I liked a few of the ideas - the tea light picture holder and the "low headroom" playing card are just plain useful.
Regarding the latex glove ... I've seen an advertising for proper condom use in which the mother uses a rubber to dispense salad dressing. As long as your Willy Wonka was not in either of them, I don't see much of a problem.
Please credit your sources!

This was made into a book by Swiss designers atelier v.
The last one; was it supposed to represent baby Jesus' pacifier?
very nice!!!
I love all "pics" .
uhm... but all of these items are new? They just ruined new things instead of recycling!
I mean, would you really use a disgusting old rubber glove to pour oil? Would you want to put a PLASTIC floaty on a light bulb?
But my very favorite is the creative use they came up with for old books and magazines... :/
Thats just retarded.. all of it. Who would use a goggle to lean on in a bus? Seriously...
You need to credit these photographs. This isn't a collections, it's all from the same source. Brutal!
REALLY RETARTID AND STOOPID STUFF HERE.hoo iz going tuh put a flice swatter in frunt of they'z face. Freak.
good god dont ever ride a bike without shoes, tis madness. Other than that this is great
"REALLY RETARTID AND STOOPID STUFF HERE.hoo iz going tuh put a flice swatter in frunt of they'z face. Freak."
Hoping this is a trolling comment.
And, if you've ever rode on a motorcycle, you'd be tempted to use that fly swatter. :D
The genius of this site is not the creative use of the old items - while clever to be sure, the beauty of this is the wonderful photography and punchline-style setup for each new item. Loved it! Bravo!
некоторые очень крутые ))) Митя
wonderfull :)
great ways,
Thank you
"Thats just retarded.. all of it. Who would use a goggle to lean on in a bus? Seriously..."
Me, that's who. I sleep all the time on buses, trains, and even planes, with my head on the window. Somehow I manage to fall asleep but the vibrations seem to be magnified when you're head is on the window. If the goggle lenses have rubber on them, they might be a small thing I can pack in my pocket that makes the sleep on the commute better. The world's smallest pillow?
Anyway, I'm going to check my old goggle bin and see if they'll work.
I have to agree, a link or at least a name mention of who's work this is happens to be the common convention of ethics. It's not a big thing to ask for. Thanks to the person a few up who provided the proper link. (that being said, I've seen people make a lot of these things before the person who photographed them so...)
Complaining about blogs 'rehashing' other stuff is simply ignorant though. That is the very nature of blogs. It's part of what they were invented for. It's a person's collection of stuff they find 'cool'
In any event, thanks for the look at the Kentucky house of the future.
bagus.... boleh
great.. very inspiring...
Shut up with your whinging, those of you who think it's actually menat to be practical!
It's blatantly a pisstake/photograpgy project. You dumb yanks just don't get us 'quirky' europeans, do you, eh?
Wonderful blog.
why would you wanna put a flyswater with dead fly bacteria in front of your mouth. THATS NAAASSTY, and the can candle thing is just waitin to cut off someones fingers.
Bizzare, who went to all the trouble to make these things!!

Plastic floaties with a lightbulb = dangerous fire hazard. Nice.
I actually thing the goggle thing is genius. I hate it when I sleep on a bus and keep banging my head on the window. Some of these do need to be explained.
Congratulations!
You just committed plagiarism by copying a Swiss website without giving them credit. Good going, old chap!
you are wonderful:)) really excellent ways of recycling
creatif dan lucu :)
