    This is genius. Now if I could figure out how to maybe cut a different area so that I could hang them on the wall or from my curtain rod that has other craft organization hanging from it.

    @Kelly: Maybe you could cut a hole in the top (er, I guess it would be the bottom?) of the container big enough to put a hook in so that it would work with your curtain rod?

    [...] Reciclagem com Garrafas de Amaciante vira porta lápis outubro 11th, 2010 GA_googleFillSlot("Recicla_e_Decora_left_central"); Achei essa idéia genial para reciclar garrafas de amaciante, esses das fotos são feitos pela Louise Bird e com garrafas de leite. Aqui no Brasil as nossas garrafas nesses modelos são de amaciantes, então vamos reciclar e fazer esses porta lápis, uma dica importante é colocar fitas nas bordas, que podem ser cortantes especialmente para as mãos delicadas das crianças!!! Se usar fitas adesivas coloridas fica mais legal ainda…. Veja aqui no recyclart.org [...]
