Don’t throw away empty markers or pens, they can be transformed into beautiful and colorful bracelets and it’s not difficult.
The so-called creative recycling has been very popular in recent years. It consists in not throwing away things that could be reused for other purposes. At home we often have to deal with commonly used objects that often end up being thrown into the dustbin, but that’s a shame because, for example, materials such as plastic can also be recycled by us.
Some objects whose usefulness for recycling we are unaware of are colored pens and markers. Our children use them a lot, but then they end up being thrown away as waste: nothing could be more wrong. There is a fun way and that definitely The little ones will like it to give them a new life. A tutorial revealed what to do with exhausted pens and markers.
Do you have empty markers and pens at home? You can make bracelets
The “Vivi con Letizia” channel is very popular and the author of the vlog explained the way to reuse markers and pens that no longer write. The method in which the YouTuber recycled these objects that now seem useless is truly brilliant and was greatly appreciated by her followers. No one has ever thought of an idea like this.
First Letizia got 3 empty pens or markers and some colored wool threads, making 3 as many. After removing the cartridges from the pens you need to take measurements and cut the woolen strings of equal length and then thread them through each pen. Then join the three strings by putting the 3 pens together. Secure one side with tape and then the lower parts where the strings are still free must be secured with elastics.
Then take a piece of string and pass it over and under the top alternately and roll it up. Move the straws down to lengthen the work without removing them completely. You need to continue weaving the wool until you get a colored bracelet. Then knot the bases so as not to undo the thread and you’re done.
The result is a beautiful colored bracelet to wear on any occasion. This is the perfect way to recycle pens you no longer use to make a fashion accessory.
