Many large cardboard cylinder tubes can be found many times very helpful even after one has found them serving their primary purpose. These can be very helpful for creative individuals who wish to add novelty touches in life.
From sustainability to DIY projects, there is just so much one can do with these cylindrical wonders far from their original and genuine functions of packaging. Below, go deep inside some ingenious and practical ideas of what to make with mailing tubes to turn them into functional and artistic wonders.
Do-It-Yourself Vertical Gardens
Give your abode an eco-friendly touch by preparing a vertical garden out of big cardboard tubes. Slice each at unequal lengths, stack over one another, then tie them up on a wall or framework.
It gives birth to a beautiful garden aesthetically, utilizes space vertically, and hence can serve for small apartments or at homes outdoors, as outdoor areas generally have a limitation in square feet. Fill each tube with soil and plant your favorite herbs, flowers, or small vegetables.
Toy Binoculars for Kids
Just paint the tube in bright colours then attach a piece of string as a strap. With its lightweight design, this is easy to carry even with little hands, hence so good for making them feel like an explorer. Whether this is used in backyard adventures, imaginary safaris inside, or observing the world going around, these binoculars should be an inexpensive method for one to keep the kids busy.
Cable Organizer
Pop the tubes into suitable lengths and thread your cables through them. You could also, for added organization, label each tube as to what kind of cable is contained therein. Line them up nice on your desk or even mount them to the wall for some nice-looking and working cable management, preventing your cables from cluttering the space and helping you find any specific cables in no time.
