My little DIY project - suggestions for what to use in 2nd stage?

Question

I like to keep my car nice and clean but hadn't found a convenient place to keep my washmit, drying towel and microfibre cloths in my garage.

So I sort of made my own wall-tidy using recycled materials.

I like it cause it utilises a section of space that was free and unusued... and it keeps my wash stuff isolated from other items which could dirty it - whilst also allowing excess moisture to dry out after use.

Added to which I recycled stuff to give it new useful life for something else, which would have otherwise just been disposed of and ended up in landfill, spending 200 to 10,000 years to half-decompose.

Any ideas though of what sort of thing I could use for a second row of storage holders for more cloths? Preferably some sort of everyday packaging which again could be given useful life as a storage holder for my wall-tidy ? Perhaps even a specific brand of item which has useful container? Thanks. :)

Hi,

I'm going to assume you aren't in the states.

Anyway perhaps similar containers are available whereever you are.

To store such items I have collected over time, plastic crates, usually open/webbed containers that allow for wet/damps cloths to have air circulation. They are all the same size, stack or can be hung, and reused until the end of time. They also may allow critters to explore the contents, but also are open enough to allow escape.

I dont care what steve says I like it and yes 50 pack cds are available in the US

Answer 4

How about a row of toilet roll tubes cut at a slight angle then glued to a piece of card.
Then stuff the cloths in them. one cloth per bog roll tube.
