What else would you add to my repurposing list?

make quilts with old clothes.
a few good ideas here. I like using fused plastic to make bathroom bags for my husband who travels a lot. He used to forget his regular ones behind in hotels all the time, but he loves the ones I make so much, he wears them out now. ;o)

You can knit or crochet almost anything with strips made from plastic bags.

Plastic bag knitting

Plastic bag shoes

Plastic bag dresses, raincoats, wedding dress, hats, corsets, and bags

Soda bottles as mini green houses for sapplings.

Make sculptures or mobiles with the metal cans etc.

And what to do with these used light bulbs…?

Lightbulbs are considered a semi-toxic waste where I live. We have a special garbage disposal for them. Especially the florescent bulbs. They have a toxic powder/gas in them. They shouldn’t be broken or used for anything.

The clear ones might be used for something. I have seen them used as tiny hanging planters.

When I was little, I used to put bottles over rosebuds. After the rose had bloomed inside the bottle, I’d give them away as gifts. I’d imagine you could do the same with a lightbulb.

I’ve only tried it with those round bulbs (versus the classic oblong ones), but if you put them in a grocery bag and tap around the metal base with a hammer, you can sometimes pop off the metal base and pull the filiment out. You’re then left with just the glass part. Very pretty—but also very delicate.

Those can be used for all sorts of decorative stuff. Ornaments, terrariums, vases, etc.

PS I really dig that you try to reuse all this stuff. We produce way too much “trash”.
