THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Build something using only things you were going to throw away
Make an object from the recycling, scrap box and neglected drawer rather than buying a kit. Let the available materials decide what it becomes.
Do it
- Gather clean, safe items you were about to discard.
- Sort them by material, shape and possible use.
- Pick one small object to make, such as a desk organiser or planter.
- Assemble it using the tools and fixings you already have.
- Use it for a week before deciding whether it is genuinely rubbish.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
