Purse made with toothpaste tube
Toothpaste tubes can be useful after consumption
Blogger Maíra Fontoura discovered a useful, different and fun destination for used toothpaste tubes.
Instead of discarding them, she turns them into purses! To do this, very few materials are needed:
Materials
- 1 tube of toothpaste;
- 1 scissors or stylet;
- 1 zipper;
- nylon thread and needle.
Instructions
After making a cut along the tube, clean it internally. Then just sew a zipper with nylon thread to add strength. It is also possible to put a colored bias inside to make the forage of the homemade purse. After that, it's ready! Practical, creative and resistant to carry in bags and backpacks.
The author says in her blog that the adornment draws attention. “Sometimes I go to the bakery and just take him. Everyone finds it fun when I pull the coins out of the tube.”
Recycling
If you already have a purse or haven't been very creative in recent days to the point of making crafts, be aware that toothpaste tubes can be recycled and there are several stations that accept them. Click here to find the point closest to you.
