[Nicos]

[Nicos]

Flowers???

[Greenleaves]

[Dorothy rouse]

Come on VC, please TELL US, I'm going out soon, and need to know!

Crochet them together to make a 'non slip mat' for garden, or for beside your bath?

Video jam?

New type of net curtain, a plastic one?

[lottie dolly]

we have loads of them things,you know how it is,at what point do you sling it,wonder if anyone is even close
Just had a thought,using the tape only,make a hanging fly screen,
Well a skirt then,

[veggiechicken]

A 'seed box organiser'? (Keep your packets of seeds in order)

Come on VC, please TELL US, I'm going out soon, and need to know!

You were right with your 2nd guess, Dotty
There have been such original ideas since then that I feel really boring and unimaginative

The film info cover on the box is tucked behind a plastic sleeve, so you can pull the paper out, turn it over and reinsert it - with added info. This is a quick one I've done to show you before you go out!





Have a luvly evening....................

Once they're all done I can keep the seeds on a shelf, like books, or in a drawer, spines uppermost. Might insert a seed packet on the cover with sowing dates, distances etc.

PS, the actual tape is good for tying up plants as its wide and doesn't cut into stems.

[Dorothy rouse]

Wonderful, you is clever!

Think you should enter this on Dragons Den!

[Dorothy rouse]

And....... You cud paint a little picture on the spine, so wud look nice?

Ok, I'll shut up now, off for curry.

[lottie dolly]

Well guessed that girl,and a very good idea VC,you will not want for plant ties in a long while either,if you have any free time ahem,you could always follow up on some of the other ideas,especially Nicos's,or your own inventions to hang in the trees,

.

The simple ideas are usually the best ones

[Bigmallly]

I've cut video tape into 1ft-2ft lengths and tied to canes as bird scarers, makes a change to milk cartons....................... Pretty effective until they get wet then they just stick to the cane..............

[cariann88]

It's a really good idea that. But I am afraid I chucked mine all out when CD players came in. I don't see cassette tapes any more

[Guest]

I see three lurking on the shelf and am ready to start hunting other peoples as well as the charity shop - its a bit backward (sorry rural) out here so worth a try

TY VC yet again

[veggiechicken]

Freecycle is a good place for Videos - charity shops won't take them any more
