Posted by ScrapHacker.com on måndag, april 30, 2012 · 4 Comments The applications of D.I.Y projects with rope are infinite, so i found limiting the number of DIY ideas for this post super tricky (i’ve been pinning them like crazy too, so visit my D.I.Y Dreams board for more ideas). I ended up with 10 ideas to which you can easily add tweaks and details to score the style of your choice: nautical, industrial, sporty or country? – You choose!

Pic right via here, Pic left via here Good Luck Hacking! Home Made Glass Bottle Cutter, Personalizing, & Plans | Blog Updates. I have been doing some fun things with glass bottles lately and upcycling them. In this update, I wanted to show: My latest video that shows how to cut a glass bottle properly with a home made cutter. The idea of personalizing your cut bottle by etching designs into them. Then below you can download my free ebook plans which show how to make a durable cutter. I primarily cut wine bottles with this, but it can also be done with beer bottles, glass jars, etc. There are bottle cutters that are sold specifically for this but I think this type of design is both much easier to ensure a perfect cut and the cutter is interchangeable. Please watch my video which explains a little about the cutter that I made and it shows step by step how to cut the glass. Below are some of the cut wine bottles that I have etched so far.

P.s. Quirky parking canopy made from 1,500 recycled plastic bottles. With gyres of it swirling in our oceans, to landfills packed to overflowing with it, plastics are a true, non-biodegradable modern day bane. To tackle this pervasive problem, we've found various ways to recycle, upcycle and transform plastics into clothing, architecture and art, often with surprising results. Using 1,500 recycled bottles, this new parking canopy in Lincoln, Nebraska, shows that old plastic bottles can still impart a fresh aesthetic. © Garth Britzman © Garth Britzman Created by American artist Garth Britzman, in collaboration with University of Nebraska students, this piece, titled (POP)culture, took 200 hours to make and features a bit of coloured liquid within each bottle, adding some vibrancy to the transparent plastic.

This temporary installation used recycled soda bottles as a canopy under which a small park is created. Bright and quirky, this project demonstrates that a simple (and problematic) material can easily be transformed into something quite striking.

DIY Portable Outdoor Fire Pit. We all are impressed by fire pits that we can find in stores. Although they are usually quite expensive. In case you one of those people who likes such fire pits but don’t want to spend a lot of money on one of them, you should make one by yourself. Here is a tutorial done by Karen of Art of Doing Stuff. Here is what you’ll need: Marine siliconeCheap glass framesSmall rocksAny kind of metal meshGel fuelMetal planter with a lip (edge) on it The process is relatively simple.

Due to the double-walled construction and the integral can bottoms, the stove is much stronger than an empty aluminum can and can be expected to last years if you want it to.

The best fuel is methanol, which burns blue and ignites quickly. Absolute ethanol is expensive, but denatured alcohol isn't and works well. The photos are taken with Iso-HEET isopropanol, probably 91%, which is what I had on hand; it works but burns yellow and is less efficient as the combustion continues up the sides of the pot, uselessly for heating food or water. The stove is filled through the holes in the center, and primed by burning either a pool in the center or a little sloshed over the sides, which I find efficient. When the fuel in the chamber starts to boil, vapor rises up the side and comes out the holes, giving us our gas stove. It will burn merrily until it burns out, and with accesories you can simmer it, too; perhaps a later instructable there.

Concrete Lightbulb Wall Hook. This is how to make an excellent excuse for driving a lag bolt into your wall, the Concrete Lightbulb Wall Hook. Functional yet sylish, it gives a nice industrial design feel wherever you mount it. Last winter after breaking out the serious cold weather gear, I found myself fighting the coat rack next to the front door. It was, to put it bluntly, failing miserably. Tipping over, breaking off, it was a mess. I swore before the next winter I would drive some serious hooks into the wall that would handle all my heavy overcoat needs.

I just haven't seen any kickass hooks yet that I liked enough to justify making serious holes in my walls. Cut to the last few months. This is an entry in the Etsy/Instructables SewUseful Contest, so if you love this idea but don't want to make it yourself, not to worry!

Previous image Next image Wine, re-purposing, and attractive storage solutions — these are a few of our favorite things. Perhaps that's why we've featured the wine crate on so many occasions. As a flea market staple and a liquor store freebie, they're easy to come by and even easier to put to good (re)use. . • Anything on wheels has our vote. . • Storing extra towels and toilet paper in plain sight for house guests is a must, especially if you don't relish the idea of having friends searching for them in your less organized, more personal storage spaces.

. • We like Rachel of the Heart of Light blog's simple planter and patio organization system. • We've seen several variations on the stylish wine crate-turned-pet-feeding station, but this DIY from Design*Sponge, is a favorite. But perhaps our favorite use is the simplest: wall-mounting or stacking the crates for extra storage rather than relying on the usual, ho-hum bookshelves:

Roundup: New Takes on Old Doors. Look! A Pallet Plate Rack. Andi's Kitchen: At Long Last, Tile Renovation Diary. Name:Andi ForkerType of Project: Kitchen Renovation — full gut remodelLocation: San Francisco, CaliforniaType of building: 1890's Victorian condo The Renovation Diaries are a new collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style.

See all of our Reno Diaries here. Our backsplash tile arrived this week. It took seven weeks for these little green gems to be hand-made at the Ann Sacks factory in Portland, Oregon. I was okay with the wait but very grumpy about the $300 delivery fee, which only transported the tile to the curb in San Francisco. I had to take an afternoon off of work to accept the shipment... on the street. I used plastic spacers to keep the tiles evenly spaced, and applied adhesive to the wall with a notched trowel to increase the sticky surface area. I find that tiling is an easy DIY project, especially when it is for decorative purposes (unlike tiling a shower). Ta-da! 10 Ways to Reuse Plastic Plant Pots This Old House.
