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.

thanx.

love the bottle bulletin...still dont get the reason for it but hey...everyone must unleash their inner crafty
Love it. Great idea! Can you come up with something I need? When I walk into my apartment, I like to put down my purse, keys, mittens, gloves, and hat. They end up on the kitchen counter near the sink, not the best place. What kind of hanging unit/shelf can I put up that won't get into the way of the door? Ponder away, wise one! :)
Hi girl of approval, interesting question. What does your the area around your front door look like, is there space enough to hang up some pegs?
