Reuse at home: practical ideas to test
Rather than ending in the trash, these tabs can be transformed into useful everyday objects. Here is a selection of tested and approved tricks:
Optimize the space in your cupboards
By inserting a tab on the hook of a hanger, you can hang a second hanger. This makes it possible to double the capacity of a wardrobe without investing in expensive equipment.
A plan B for a broken light closure
Has your zip just lets go? Slide a tab instead of the pull-out piece for express repair. A practical tip to know, whether on the move or on holiday.
100% reclaimed jewelry
With a little wire, ribbon or fabric, you can create original bracelets, trendy necklaces or offset earrings. An idea of a playful workshop for children or creative leisure enthusiasts.
A key emergency door
Need a ring for your keys? These tongues are perfect for playing improvised replacements. Light, solid, and above all: free of charge.
Say goodbye to tangled cables
Assemble several tabs to channel the cables of your chargers. A simple but effective solution for maintaining a tidy office.
Setting a table without a dedicated tool
Screw a tongue on the back of a lightweight frame: you get a quick and astute wall hook. Perfect for Sunday do-it-yourselfers.
Camping or ranking tip: clever reinforcement
Are you going on a hike? These small rings can reinforce backpack attachments or serve as an anchor for a carabiner.
Create eco-responsible art
Artists collect them to make curtains, mosaics or sculptures. On a small scale, this can become a creative and ecological manual activity.
Keeping a straw in a drink
Lightly cut the tab and slide it around a straw to prevent it from escaping from the glass. Useful for children or cocktails.
A little-known treasure at hand
In a world in which waste is sought to reduce waste and recycle intelligently, can rings appear to be ingenious and accessible resources. Their robustness, practical format and availability make it an ideal material for simple but astute diversions.
So the next time you open a can, look carefully at this little metal part. And ask yourself, how can I transform it today?
