plastic cover on waste bins

I cut the plastic bottle to get the bin.Removed the top part with the lid.Used the lower half for the bin.Then used this plastic cover which i had.I loved the pattern of black and red checks on them so i had saved it up to use later.And I used it on the bin. I cut out the black and red checks from the cover and attached it on the bin with glue.I love the outcome.

Onion bags

We use a lots of onions in cooking as a rsult I ended up with lots of empty plastic onion bags.I found out two good ways to put them to use.
I forgot to get the dishwashing scrubber during our weekend shopping.I had to do my dishes.So I tried using this onion bag.I wadded up the mesh bag and secured it with a rubberband.And guess what it works great.
I use it as a soap holder plus scrubber. I guess I can even use it as a loofah sponge for the bath.Havent tried that..but i think it would work fine. These mesh bags are perfect for laundering lingerie, socks, booties, and other small items.

Onion bags decor on waste bins

I used this plastic mesh onion bags for one of my waste bin.The material is plastic.I had two colors one in green and other in red.Thought of using both.
I removed the top of the bottle and covered the lower half with the red onion bag.Used the green onion bag and a paper bag handle to give the final touches.

Fabric on waste bins

I used an old table cover and a left over material to make this.Took the measurement of the bottle and cut the material to fit.Used glue to attach everything together.Now I have a bin in all the rooms.

Mehendi

This mehendi was a sheer accident.when we had gone for a weekend shppoing my 3 year old found this ice box which held mehendi cones.Coz it was cold he assumed its icecream and started to throw tantrums saying he wanted it.I tied to explain it him that its for girls and they use it to decorate their palms.But as usual reasoning was beyond point.So we finally brought it.By the time we reached home my lil guy was so engrossed in his new toy that he forgot about the mehendi.After a day or two while he was inspecting the refrigirator he came across this cone.By this time he knew that its not an icecream.Now the next thing was he wanted me to apply them on his hand.He wanted me to draw all the automobiles he could think of.From cars,trucks ,airoplanes to trains and ships.And to my amazment he held his hand for the next one hour.I was really shocked and surprised.I have never seen him doing a thing for more than 2 minutes.And after an hour i told him its ok to wash now.He was reluctant at first then did it anyway.I should have taken a pic then but it never came to my mind.Again after a week or so my lil one wanted a design on his other hand.Again all the transportation in the world.This time he dint have the patience..and washed it after a minute.And was pretty disapointed by the results.Now he wanted me to apply them on my hands.Thats how I ended up doing this....
