Construction screeds are not lying around idle. Sharing home hacks

After the repair in the country, there were two bags of plastic ties left. It’s a pity to throw it away, therefore, the first thing that came to mind was to make a stand for the phone in order to watch the news during lunch.

1.Stand for gadget.

We take 2 clamps, each of them is closed with a ring. We put it on the top and bottom of the phone, gently pull it up. The ends of the ties serve as a support against tipping over. It turned out quite stable reusable stand.

2.Tape cutter.

Then he drew attention to the adhesive tape, the end of which is constantly lost while looking for something to cut off. We put a plastic clamp on the coil, tighten it and cut off the end obliquely. Everything, the cutter is always at hand until the adhesive tape runs out.

3.We make a stopper for the door, from spontaneous closing.

On the wall opposite the handle with a narrow adhesive tape we glue a loop of screed. After that, in the open position, we fix the door near the wall by throwing a loop on the rotary handle.

4.Glass handle.

We take three open ties, from two we make hoops along the edges of the glass. Then we connect the rings perpendicularly with a third collar, which we simply connect into a lock. Then we tighten the hoops to maximum density, and cut off the free ends. The third clamp is a handle, adjustable by hand.

5.Cutter hanger.

Stationery cutter with a plastic handle, it also needs to be attached somewhere. Here, I didn’t have to come up with anything special, except to make a hole in the handle and pass a collar from a thin screed through it. Now the cutter has its rightful place on the stand.

6.Ring for old keys.

Once I took up the tool, I had to delve into the cabinet of the table and collect the keys to the locks. There were several of them, it’s a pity to throw them away, they’ll come in handy, which means they’ll have to continue to store them on the ring from the collar.

7.Cutting electrical wiring

It's time to deal with the wiring that is on the walls. To do this, I dismantled everything separately, ringed with screeds. Then, with the help of other clamps, he divided the wires along the plane. It turned out quite a decent cable channel, which was fixed along the wall.

8.A capo for a guitar from one tie in half a minute.

In the evenings I like to play the guitar for friends, I had to think about a homemade capo. It is done simply - I tighten the clamp on the fretboard to clamp the desired fret.

9.Sink cleaner.

The problem was solved with 4 zip ties and a screwdriver. Moreover, I cut one screed into three parts, for a working tool. The segments were secured in the locks of the remaining screeds, and the free ends were tucked into the cartridge. Then, he carefully lowered the homemade brushes into the mesh hole and turned on the screwdriver. Solid food residues are ground and pushed down, and hair, threads and rags are pulled back.

10.Screed for a bouquet.

We just put a collar on the stems so that the flowers do not fall apart in a vase and keep their shape.

11.Lighter stopper.

When storing a lighter in the public domain, we put a limiter for children - a ring from a coupler under a key. Fast and safe, especially if an adult simply slides the collar down to use the device for its intended purpose.

12.Drill limiter.

Improving the tool, I got to the drills, put marks from the clamps - fixed the ties at the desired length. Now all holes for mass drilling do not need to be measured with a ruler. And marking the depth has become much easier. At the same time, the tip of the clamp also removes chips from the surface.

13.Screed as a parental control of the sweet tooth.

So that the children do not climb on the bedside tables, he pulled the door handles with a collar, now the consumption of sweets is under control. By the way, the method will fit when transporting furniture in the back of a car so that it does not open when cornering.

14.Screed for trouser zipper.

This technique is useful for those who arbitrarily unfasten the locks on their trousers. It is enough to pass a small collar through the slider and fasten the ring on the button. Then you can safely squat in jeans, no doubt that you will find yourself in an awkward position.

15.Bubble.

A tie with a ring will make a good tool for launching soap balls, and you can distribute it to many children at the same time.

16.Curtain rings.

Can be useful both in the bathroom and on the veranda. We push the clamps into the eyelets, wrap around the guide pipe and repeat the procedure as many times as necessary.

This is how I came up with the idea of ​​using plastic ties at home.
