We make a reusable tube. Christmas tree decorations from tubes of hair dye Oak craft from toothpaste

Squeezing out great benefits even from a small, squeezed and useless one, och.pens offer to consider an exhausted tube of toothpaste as an inexhaustible source of benefit.
Benefits 1. The tail of an internally empty tube is cut off or unbent, after which it is straightened and washed. After filling the tube with a thick lubricant (from a large can), its “tail” is brought by pliers to its original curved-clamped form - as a result, the tube becomes a wonderful oiler, and you are its owner.

Benefit 2. From the “dressed skin” of a soft-bodied metal tube, you can make unique chased miniatures by squeezing out an image with an ordinary ballpoint pen. The resulting coinage can be beautifully toned (smoky) over a candle. If necessary, highlight some

their areas should be carefully cleaned of soot with a piece of cotton wool. For better preservation, it is advisable to cover the finished coinage with hairspray.

Benefit 3. The aluminum foil used to make the tube is an excellent material for making stainless steel tags.

Indelible inscriptions are squeezed out on them in the same way as on coinage. Such "eternal" tags are useful for marking everything that should constantly remind of itself (horticultural plants, contents of cellars, etc.).

Benefit 4. By squeezing your phone number and address on the foil and attaching such a sign to the collar of your “misguided” friend (a watch strap is very suitable as a cat collar), you will help him find and meet you again.

Benefit 5. Rings cut from a tube can be useful when strengthening wires to the wall. The method is shown in the figure. If one such ring, slightly bending its upper edge inward, is put on the end of the candle, the molten paraffin will not flow onto the hands, and the burning time of the candle will increase significantly.

Benefit 6. The thread and near-thread part of the tube can serve as a small funnel or an additional nozzle on the neck of the funnel made of plastic bottle.

Benefit 7. The threaded part of the tube and its cap can act as an assembly handle for a lid or a small door. To do this, in the hole made with inside the threaded part is inserted. And from the outside, a cap is screwed onto it. By screwing these handles to the bottom of a small box, you turn them into legs, and the box into a cabinet.
Benefit 8.

If you make several holes in the detachable bottom of a plastic bottle and insert straightened tubes there (as shown in the figure), securing them from the inside with caps, you will get an ultra-modern stand for pencils or toothbrushes.

A lighted tube is obtained from a metal tube stuffed with batteries, to which the near-threaded part of the same tube is attached as a reflector. The glass for the flashlight is cut out of a plastic bottle* and fixed by slightly bending the edges of the flashlight body. The design of the switch is extremely simple: it is fused or glued into the cap of the tube

a screw, the head of which does not pass through the neck of the tube, and the threaded part does not touch the walls of the neck.

When screwing such a modernized cap, the screw with its “nose” rests against the battery, and its cap, pressed against the neck of the tube, closes the electrical circuit along the flashlight body, and the light bulb lights up. It is very important to take care that between the reflector into which it is screwed
light bulb, and the housing was a reliable electrical contact. The spring that presses the batteries together can be wound from a large paper clip.

Very skillful hands hope that the bright image of the design of this flashlight will forever remain in your memory and you will bring this project to life more than once.

Let's draw!

Are you running out of colors? But it doesn't matter if you have toothpaste at home.

If you want, I can teach you how to draw with toothpaste paints.

To work, you will need a sheet of white A4 or A3 thick paper, bristle brushes, a palette, watercolors, a tube of toothpaste, a simple pencil, an eraser and a glass of water.

Now squeeze out some toothpaste, first dropping a few drops of water into each watercolor cell. Then wait a little, and when the paints become soft, mix them with toothpaste.

You should have a thick opaque paint. And now proceed directly to drawing, put a sheet of paper in front of you, with a drawn pencil drawing and create.

To begin with, we paint large objects on the sheet. I have this sea, sand and sky, and then you can move on to the details.

As a result of this work, you can get a wonderful picture. I named mine "In the land of magnolias"

Anything can be painted with paste paints: portraits, spring and autumn landscapes, a bouquet of flowers.

It was the bouquet of tulips that my pupil Nastya painted with such unusual colors.

The colors are unusual, thick, so there is a certain feeling of similarity with oil paints, the work looks unusual and original.

You just need to remember that after drying, the layer of such paint becomes very fragile, so to save it, you need to fix it by sprinkling it with hairspray!

An iron, a tube of toothpaste, and aluminum foil are all you need to make your life a little more comfortable. The most banal, but also the simplest and fastest thing that can come to mind is to use a tube of toothpaste for its intended purpose, that is, as a storage container various means. You can stuff not only liquid substances or mixtures into it, but also thicker ones, if you disassemble the bottom, and after filling the tube, glue it again. The video below shows how to fill a tube for one useful idea.

What is the application for this idea? Its author offers to play a trick on someone by filling the tube with mayonnaise. The idea is fun, although a bit dubious. It’s better to fill it with something more useful, for example, shampoo if you are going on a business trip, grease and use it in the garage.

First, cut off the bottom of the tube, then fill it with the desired composition, leaving about 3-4 cm from the edge. Bend the edge one or more times. We wrap the resulting bend with foil to prevent the hot iron from sticking to the material of the tube. Thoroughly iron the fold surface with the hottest possible iron through the foil laid on it. We do this until the plastic sticks. After cooling, remove the foil.

The refilled tube is ready to use!

Reuse of used tubes from silicone sealant

Good idea for the second life of the tuba.

And yet, for glue and the remaining silicone, I put thin polyethylene and twisted it with a spout. The mass did not freeze. There was no evaporation. And the criticism! Yes, what kind of criticism is there when these discarded tubes are lying around in all the garbage dumps. Here you need to give an award for the environment. Once again - YOUNG.

Sticking foam tiles on the ceilings in your home is in itself creating hemorrhoids to itself. First (most importantly): the phenol-formaldehyde atmosphere created voluntarily at home is a blow to the immune system of one's own and one's relatives (hello oncology). Secondly: sooner or later, the day of a new repair will come and you will bite your elbows and tell yourself THANK YOU BULL for filling the ceiling with TITAN glue and the opportunity to spend time tearing off the tiles (and you will have to tear it off, believe me). And thirdly: does anyone really think such ceilings are BEAUTIFUL? Of course, I unsubscribed a little off topic ... And about the use of empty tubes for lubricants and pasty mixtures, this is GREAT!

Similarly, from a pistol it is very convenient to fill cracks in walls or a thick layer of plaster with mortar, and from dimes of hardened silicone taken out of a tube, you can make plumbing gaskets (if thick ones are needed). Gaskets are cut down with pieces of tubes sharpened in a circle.

Glory to our Fatherland, where such Kulibins are able to make something useful and smart out of nothing. My dad had the same master from improvised means (then everything was in short supply) to do a lot of things. It's a pity you can't put a lot of likes.

Landscaping of the playground

What is a personal plot or cottage without a children's playground? Naturally, you arranged it for your children. It remains to complete the project: decorate the site beautifully with plants. This work is not as simple as it seems to you at first glance. Many plants that have long been known and familiar to us turn out to be poisonous and pose a rather serious threat to the health of the child. These plants include aconite, periwinkle, lily of the valley, foxglove, bulbous and many other plants. Plants that have thorns are dangerous for a child: all kinds of roses, barberry, hawthorn, wild rose, raspberry and blackberry. Marigolds, chrysanthemum, carnation, phlox, jasmine, bird cherry and lilies can cause asthma attacks in children prone to allergies. Therefore, before landscaping a playground, you need to carefully study the characteristics of the plants that you are going to plant.
