Bottle Bulletin Board
I don't have a bulletin board above my desk at home, and my wall is stuck with pictures and postcards, but sometimes, I need somewhere visible to remind me of things I need to do. Based on this need and the abundance of plastic water bottles and cardboard at home, I created this today. It's a portable bottle bulletin board. Yes, you can buy fancy things like this called memo holders in stores, they usually come with a plastic base and a wire sticking out of it with an alligator clip attached to the end. My own homemade one isn't as fancy, but it didn't cost me anything, it uses things I had lying around and would have languished on my shelf or in a landfill otherwise, and it serves its purpose!
I used a plastic water bottle, cardboard, bits of leftover old wrapping paper, a page out of an old Saturday Guardian magazine, paperclips and cellotape to make this. So there you go. You could probably make a much prettier one, go on, have a go.

what's it all about?
A discussion with a friend inspired me to have a go at making things out of recycled materials to:
1) have fun creating things
2) raise awareness about the things we can do to help the environment
3) help the environment
Let's see how it goes...
