Greetings beautiful community I hope you are very well, I apologize for my absence, as I told you in my presentation a few posts well back :) I am a civil engineer and from time to time I get small employment contracts and no matter how much I want to take time It's complicated for me to dedicate to you, but I'm always looking for a space to create and always thinking how to give back in some way to this platform that gives us so much and that I consider great as all of you are, yes, with my camera always with me documenting any daily life that I do for my own benefit in my daily activities and that could be very useful to all of you. For this occasion I want to show you how we can recycle a soap or shampoo container, in order to make it smaller to store an element that requires protection.
Para este recipiente me inspire en un envase de helado para guardar el cargador de mi esposa, ya que esta delicado y no carga muy bien como medida provisional y extenderle un poco más la vida útil de este elemento de carga hasta que compremos uno nuevo.
Pasa casi siempre que dentro de un bolso suele enredarse y suele haber tirones y esta acción desprende o va desgastando los cables internos produciendo así su fin como elemento útil.
Materiales; solo utilice un recipiente de jabón vacío, escogí el color marrón para solo agregarle con esmalte el dibujo del helado.
Herramientas; tijera, navaja, silicón, pincel y pintura de esmalte.
For this container I was inspired by an ice cream container to store my wife's charger, since it is delicate and does not charge very well as a provisional measure and extend the useful life of this charging element a little longer until we buy a new one.
It almost always happens that inside a bag it tends to get tangled and there are usually jerks and this action loosens or wears out the internal cables, thus producing its end as a useful element.
Materials; I only used an empty soap container, I chose the brown color to only add the ice cream drawing with enamel.
Tools; scissors, knife, silicone, brush and enamel paint.
Step 1
-We will determine what we will use the new container for since in this case it will give us the desired size, in my case my wife needed a container for the charger in order to store it in her bag since it has faults and is already at its limit of useful life, while we buy a new one, this container is a great idea, I hope it will be useful and profitable.
-Remove the decals, cut to the desired size and cut the dotted blank on the soap lid to create what will be the hole of our new container.
Step 2
-We sand all the edges to remove slag and give the plastic a soft touch so we will avoid breaking any delicate element or scratching the elements we want to protect. -We join the parts; the lid, the latch and the container. We fix these elements with crazy glue, tank glue or silicone.
Step 3
-With regard to the insurance or lock that will keep the lid of our container fastened, we use a strip of the same plastic as the hair soap, this will have the function of a lock since most of these lids come with a slot in the lid that allows that the new element created is hooked on it.
-To decorate it you can use cold paint, or enamel to make any creation you can think of. I like to work with enamel paint because of its good adhesion and resistance to the elements.
Well, my dear readers, it is always a pleasure to share my ideas with all of you, I hope that the idea will serve you, I will be aware of your beautiful creations, until a next post, remember that happiness is expressed in many ways, one of the different ways of to express my happiness is to share what this humble servant can think of. Thank you all and blessings.
