  1. I repurpose used plastic knives & spoons as reusable plant markers. It's easy to wipe off old Sharpie ink with some baby oil, wash the plastic cutlery & reuse them many times. They're more durable than store-bought plant markers & easy to write on.

  6. Here's yet another tech repurposing/recycling post! :neobot_box:

    This USB SD card reader was DIY'd from a component I found in a trashed laptop someone had discarded and left on the side of a bin!

    The laptop's SD reader daughterboard was really just an USB device connected to one of the motherboard's internal USB ports via a ribbon cable. So, after figuring out which pin is which, desoldering that ribbon cable and replacing it with a regular USB one, as one would expect, effectively turned it into an external SD card reader

    At that point all I had to do was to find a case for it: I don't have a 3D printer, but trimming the board slightly and removing the plastic stands made it fit perfectly into this SD card holder, which does the job and is rather small all things considered!

    (And yes, the irony of using an SD card holder as its case isn't lost on me! :neobot_flop_blep: )

  12. Today on #TreasureHuntTuesday I found storage. Found a square rolling cart with a large central cavity and lots of pockets that fits all my bookbinding supplies so I can wheel it out of my studio until I need it. Also found three plastic sets of drawers for $4 US each: perfect for out-of-sight basement storage. I also found a set of shelves to hold machines I rarely use until I need them. This freed up space I can use for everyday purposes in my studio. #reuse #repurpose #thrift

  17. An exciting first day at the #iDR26 meeting in Brussels on drug #repurposing.

    Academics, company representatives, funders, policy makers, patients and others, all gathered to discuss how to help #repurpose #medicines for the many #diseases still with unmet medical needs, including #vascular #anomalies.

  23. I also found a folding bookcase, something I've been searching for for a while. One of the brackets to hold a shelf up was missing, with a screw in its place. In my mixed hardware bin I found a similar bracket normally used for mounting curtain rods. I cut a piece off the bracket to make it more suitable for this new purpose and it works a treat. Now the bookcase is renewed and sturdy. #reuse #renew #repurpose #vintage

  28. Found an extremely poorly reupholstered little bench for $2.10. I only care about it's bones because I plan to cover it with leather. Perfect for putting on and taking off boots by the front door. :) #reuse #repurpose #recycle #LeathetCraft

  43. I used to keep my cutting dies in the second drawer of this little tool chest but the drawers don't open all the way, the dies get mixed up and it's often hard to find the die I am looking for. I found this drawer at a charity shop for 75 cents. It's designed to hold Keurig cups but works perfectly for my dies. I can finally see and easily retrieve all my dies #reuse #repurpose #recycle #LeatherCraft #maker
