Buying in bulk is one of the best ways to reduce your use of plastics

Planet First: Buy in bulk

In order to DIVAIN Planet First. That is why we want to continue giving you ideas and advice on how to take care of the environment with small gestures. Today we enter the world of bulk shopping. If you want to be surprised, keep reading, because its amount of benefits (both for the environment and for our pockets) are incredible. Surely you are not expecting them! Advantages of buying in bulk You cut down on plastic packaging.Everyone knows what plastic damages the environment. Well ... did you know that 39.9% of the plastic that is generated in the world is destined to the manufacture of containers? If we buy in bulk with our own containers or reusable cloth bags, we will be helping to reduce the demand for plastic packaging. And in this life direct proportionality rules: the less demand for plastic packaging there is, the less plastic packaging will be manufactured. The result? A much happier and plastic-free world. You buy only what you need.This translates into two huge benefits, both for you and for the environment. In the first place, food waste is avoided, since the amount has been chosen by you and you will not have leftovers with which you do not know what to do and end up in poor condition. On the other hand, you choose the right amount, so if you need a small amount, you will pay the price for that small amount and not for the entire container, thus saving a few euros on each purchase (a great trick to save money on a daily basis) You support local business.Today more than ever it is vitally important that we support small businesses. And it is in these small shops where you can buy almost everything in bulk, not like in supermarkets, where 90% of what they sell is already packaged. Surely in your neighborhood you have a store where you can buy olives or nuts in bulk, while in supermarkets they are always packed in quantities of 100 or 150 grams. The products are more natural.As a general rule, the products we buy in bulk are 100% natural and ecological, so their quality is much higher. In addition, they usually come from small local farmers, so we kill two birds with one stone: we eat a healthier diet and help the development of our environment. Possibility of having a much more varied diet.Has it ever happened to you wanting to try a new food but not because it came in a very large container and you were sorry that you did not like it and wasted it? Well that's done with buying in bulk! You can get a small amount of the food you want to try and see if you like it or not without wasting anything, so your food horizons will expand and you will eat a much more varied diet. Sounds good right? What kinds of products can be purchased in bulk? Many more than you imagine! Here are some of the most common and easy to get, so that little by little you can introduce this habit of consumption into your routine: Buy legumes in bulk, is one of the best options to enter the world of bulk purchases, since it is a non-perishable product and easy to store. In any neighborhood greengrocer you can buy legumes this way. Take a rigid cloth bag with you so that it supports the weight of what you buy well and does not break. Buy tea or infusions in bulk It is another great way to reduce plastic consumption, since almost all infusions come in plastic bags or containers. Take an airtight jar that you have at home and go to an herbalist. Buying nuts in bulk it's good, not only for the environment, but also for your pocket! These products tend to have a high price, and when they are bought in small quantities more, so the more quantity you buy, the better it will be for you. Where to buy in bulk? Now that you have seen the advantages of buying in bulk, surely you have entered (or so we hope), the bug of doing this type of consumption. Now, surely you are wondering ... where can I do it? You have two options, either buy in bulk online, or do it in small proximity stores. Buying in bulk in local stores has great advantages since, by seeing the product live and direct, you will be able to better calculate the quantities you need to buy and see its quality. You will also discover the charm of the small business, in which the treatment is super close and familiar, something that from DIVAIN we consider essential and that is why we have made it the main pillar of our Customer Support. Buy in bulk online Not having time to stroll through different physical stores is no excuse for not buying in bulk. And it is that (of course) the great Internet also offers us that possibility. This form of consumption is ideal for obtaining large quantities of imperishable products and for those that are difficult to transport. An example of this type of product is oil or wine. Imagine the amount of glass and plastic containers we will be saving if instead of buying bottles from liter to liter, we do it in much larger containers, 15 or 20 liters. In addition, it is a very good way to directly support traditional wineries or oil mills that sell their product directly without going through intermediaries. You can also buy spices in bulk online, as they are a non-perishable product and can be purchased in large quantities. If you want to discover more actions that you can do to help the environment, you cannot miss our article on the small actions to take care of the environment that you can do on a day-to-day basis. Change is in everyone's hands and every little gesture counts!

Discover the best tips for saving money on your shopping basket

13 tips to save money in the supermarket shopping cart

One of the big unavoidable expenses in a family's budget is undoubtedly the shopping basket. However, there are tricks to reduce this expense that you can apply in your day-to-day life and that will help you to save some money when you go shopping at the supermarket. It is not a question of buying less, but of being organised and knowing how to choose the right products. Here are some tips on how to save on your shopping and how to promote responsible consumption among your family members. Take note! How to save on the shopping basket According to studies by the OCU, a family spends on average between 400 and 500 euros per month on the shopping basket. This means that more than 5,000 euros a year of the family budget is spent on this. If you want to know how you can reduce this expenditure without sacrificing, pay attention to these savings tips we give you. And of course, don't forget to take a look at our post on how to save money at home every day. Define a purchasing budget One of the first things you should do to keep track of the money you spend on food is to set a budget, whether it is daily, weekly or monthly. This will make it much easier to know how much you spend on groceries and avoid wasting money on unnecessary products. Choosing the cheapest supermarket If you live in an area surrounded by several supermarkets, choose the one with the lowest prices. You can save up to €1000 a year if you make the right choice. You can also consider whether going to a supermarket further away might be more cost-effective than walking to the supermarket in your neighbourhood or residential area where prices are sky-high. There are also products that are cheaper in some supermarkets than in others. For example, you may find it better to buy cleaning products in a different supermarket to the one you usually go to for groceries. Plan the week's menus We recommend that on Sunday you plan all the week's meals in advance. This way you will know exactly what food or ingredients you will need so that you can buy the essentials. This way you will avoid having to throw food away because it has passed its use-by date and has not yet been consumed. Keep a shopping list with you at all times One of the reasons why we often buy more than we need is because we have not made a list. Plan your shopping beforehand and add to the list only those products that you consider necessary. To do this, check your pantry before going out and check what you have and what you need. And now, with new technologies, you will never forget it at home. There are mobile apps that will help you manage and plan your shopping list, which you can always carry with you. Opt for cheaper brands Another trick to save on groceries is that whenever you can, choose private label products at the best price. This will save you a lot of money every year. Assess which brand-name products are essential for you because of their quality or because you simply like them better, and for those for which the brand is not so important, choose the private label. And remember that "private label" does not have to be synonymous with poor quality. And if your supermarket doesn't have its own brand, you can always substitute the brand you usually buy for a cheaper one. The key is to try it out - important! To really know if one product is more expensive than another, you should look at the unit price. In the case of perfumes, for example, you can opt for equivalent fragrances. Don't forget that at DIVAIN you can find the best equivalence perfumes at the best price, you'll love them! Choose seasonal products Seasonal products, such as fruit and vegetables, have lower prices or are often on sale. For this reason, opting for this type of food when shopping at the supermarket will help you to spend less. In addition, they are high quality and very fresh products. Avoid ready-made products If time is not an issue when it comes to preparing your favourite recipes, then avoid buying ready-made products because they are usually more expensive. We are also talking about products such as tomato sauce, hummus or grated cheese. If you buy the ingredients separately and prepare your own sauce, it will be much cheaper. Bulk purchase The best way to fit the amount of product you need is to buy in bulk. Packs or packaged products are often more expensive and may not fit the quantity you are looking for and may end up being thrown away. Purchase by sections If you know your way around the supermarket like the back of your hand, it is best to organise your list by section. This will save you time and you won't be tempted to divert your attention with other products or unnecessary treats. And by the way, products such as sweets next to the checkouts are strategically placed to tempt you to impulse buy and add a couple of euros more to your basket. Hold back the temptation and avoid them at all costs. Take a basket or trolley of the size of your purchase If you take a trolley that is too big, when you have filled it with the products on the list, it will seem like something is missing and you may be tempted to keep filling it. Shop online Shopping online has many advantages. As well as not having to go to the supermarket in person, it also allows you to stick to your shopping list much better and avoid being tempted or wasting money on a whim. You will also find it much easier to compare the prices of various products and supermarkets to choose the ones that best suit your budget. Don't shop hungry One of the biggest enemies when it comes to saving money on groceries is hunger. Make sure you have eaten well before you go to the supermarket, otherwise it is easier to indulge yourself and buy unnecessary food. Loyalty Card If you always go to the same supermarket, get a loyalty or membership card. This is one of the best ways to save on your shopping and even benefit from other rewards such as free gifts or limited and exclusive offers.

What is amaranth and what is it for?
Jan 29, 2025Lucía Poyo Vallina
Amaranth: what it is, its properties and best recipes

Amaranth is considered one of the healthiest plant-based foods for humans. If you didn't know it, pay attention because in this post we will tell you all about these seeds that are so nutritious and beneficial for your health. Discover the properties of amaranth and the most delicious recipes you can prepare to start including it in your diet. What is amaranth? Amaranth is a pseudocereal, very similar to quinoa, which has numerous health properties. For this reason it is widely used in cooking, especially in Mexican and other tropical American recipes. It is considered one of the oldest crops in the world, dating back more than 7,000 years. In fact, in the Mayan or Aztec culture, amaranth was not only a very popular food, but was also widely used in rituals. Today, thanks to the numerous health benefits and properties of these seeds, they have become an essential part of many diets. Properties: benefits and contraindications of amaranth Amaranth is characterised by its high nutritional value, mainly due to its high content of vegetable protein, vitamins, minerals and folic acid. It also stands out above other foods because it is gluten-free, contains much more calcium than milk and all the essential amino acids. For this reason, it is a highly recommended food to include in the diet of coeliacs. Benefits of amaranth Regulates the digestive system Thanks to its high fibre content, amaranth helps regulate the digestive system and reduces bloating, making digestion quicker and easier. Similarly, it can also prevent colon cancer. The best way to take advantage of this property is to make an infusion. By the way! Take a look at our post on the properties of Black Tea. Discover all its health benefits and how to prepare it. Helps keep you fit Amaranth is an essential ingredient in the diet of those looking to keep fit, as it contains a large amount of fibre which gives it satiating properties. Combined with a good exercise routine, it will help you lose weight much faster. Improving mental performance One of the advantages of amaranth being gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates and protein is that it helps stimulate the brain and improve mental performance. This is why amaranth is often recommended for children and all those people who are very active intellectually. It may also reduce the chances of suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. Improves mood and reduces stress Amaranth is high in tryptophan, an essential amino acid that promotes the secretion of serotonin, better known as the happiness hormone. These seeds therefore help to improve mood, combat depression and reduce stress levels. It is also highly recommended for women with hormonal imbalances because it helps regulate hormones. Regulates blood cholesterol This food helps to regulate blood cholesterol levels, reducing bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol, which in turn is very beneficial for the circulatory system. In addition, its antioxidant properties help to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Strengthens bones One of the peculiarities of amaranth is that it has twice as much calcium as milk, as well as other compounds such as magnesium and phosphorus. This makes it a perfect food for strengthening muscles and bones. In this way, it prevents diseases such as osteoporosis and reduces the chances of muscle cramps. Strengthens the immune system Thanks to the zinc and selenium it contains, amaranth is a food that stimulates the production of antibodies, which strengthens the immune system. Contraindications of amaranth Amaranth is one of the healthiest foods available and it is not common for it to have negative effects. However, if you are prone to allergies, we recommend that you consult your doctor first. Similarly, being a fibre-rich food, excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain. Best recipes with amaranth: how is it consumed? Amaranth is one of the healthiest foods for human consumption. In fact, it has been considered a superfood by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations). It is used in cooking for both sweet and savoury dishes. These seeds can be used like cereals, just like quinoa. Add it to milk, yoghurt or you can even make your own bread with amaranth seeds. For breakfasts and snacks it will be your perfect ally. It is also an ideal addition to salads. You can also cook it and add it to legume salads.

Amaranth: what it is, its properties and best recipes

Amaranth is considered one of the healthiest plant-based foods for humans. If you didn't know it, pay attention because in this post we will tell you all about these seeds that are so nutritious and beneficial for your health. Discover the properties of amaranth and the most delicious recipes you can prepare to start including it in your diet. What is amaranth? Amaranth is a pseudocereal, very similar to quinoa, which has numerous health properties. For this reason it is widely used in cooking, especially in Mexican and other tropical American recipes. It is considered one of the oldest crops in the world, dating back more than 7,000 years. In fact, in the Mayan or Aztec culture, amaranth was not only a very popular food, but was also widely used in rituals. Today, thanks to the numerous health benefits and properties of these seeds, they have become an essential part of many diets. Properties: benefits and contraindications of amaranth Amaranth is characterised by its high nutritional value, mainly due to its high content of vegetable protein, vitamins, minerals and folic acid. It also stands out above other foods because it is gluten-free, contains much more calcium than milk and all the essential amino acids. For this reason, it is a highly recommended food to include in the diet of coeliacs. Benefits of amaranth Regulates the digestive system Thanks to its high fibre content, amaranth helps regulate the digestive system and reduces bloating, making digestion quicker and easier. Similarly, it can also prevent colon cancer. The best way to take advantage of this property is to make an infusion. By the way! Take a look at our post on the properties of Black Tea. Discover all its health benefits and how to prepare it. Helps keep you fit Amaranth is an essential ingredient in the diet of those looking to keep fit, as it contains a large amount of fibre which gives it satiating properties. Combined with a good exercise routine, it will help you lose weight much faster. Improving mental performance One of the advantages of amaranth being gluten-free and rich in carbohydrates and protein is that it helps stimulate the brain and improve mental performance. This is why amaranth is often recommended for children and all those people who are very active intellectually. It may also reduce the chances of suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. Improves mood and reduces stress Amaranth is high in tryptophan, an essential amino acid that promotes the secretion of serotonin, better known as the happiness hormone. These seeds therefore help to improve mood, combat depression and reduce stress levels. It is also highly recommended for women with hormonal imbalances because it helps regulate hormones. Regulates blood cholesterol This food helps to regulate blood cholesterol levels, reducing bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol, which in turn is very beneficial for the circulatory system. In addition, its antioxidant properties help to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Strengthens bones One of the peculiarities of amaranth is that it has twice as much calcium as milk, as well as other compounds such as magnesium and phosphorus. This makes it a perfect food for strengthening muscles and bones. In this way, it prevents diseases such as osteoporosis and reduces the chances of muscle cramps. Strengthens the immune system Thanks to the zinc and selenium it contains, amaranth is a food that stimulates the production of antibodies, which strengthens the immune system. Contraindications of amaranth Amaranth is one of the healthiest foods available and it is not common for it to have negative effects. However, if you are prone to allergies, we recommend that you consult your doctor first. Similarly, being a fibre-rich food, excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain. Best recipes with amaranth: how is it consumed? Amaranth is one of the healthiest foods for human consumption. In fact, it has been considered a superfood by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations). It is used in cooking for both sweet and savoury dishes. These seeds can be used like cereals, just like quinoa. Add it to milk, yoghurt or you can even make your own bread with amaranth seeds. For breakfasts and snacks it will be your perfect ally. It is also an ideal addition to salads. You can also cook it and add it to legume salads. If you want to cook it, add two cups of water for every cup of amaranth seeds you add. Another option is to sauté and dress it to add to your favourite tacos, vegetables and other dishes. Amaranth can be found in flour form and can be used as a thickener in sauces and to make soups, bread, biscuits or cakes. Finally, there are many other recipes to which you can add amaranth, such as croquettes, aubergines or stuffed tomatoes. It is also very common to mix it with honey in sweet recipes, and don't forget to find out about all the properties of royal jelly and how to take it to make the most of its benefits.

Making crafts with plastic is a good alternative for a rainy afternoon

Planet First: Crafts with recycled plastic

Besides doing small actions to take care of the environment in your day to day how to recycle or buy in bulk You can also give a second life to objects that would otherwise end up in the trash. Reuse is one of the keys to avoid the massive generation of waste and thus collaborate with the much-needed circular economy. Therefore, today we want to present you some ideas so that you can reuse the plastic utensils that you use in your day-to-day life. Do not miss any detail of these fun and original crafts with plastic, since you will love them and you will have a good time making them Guaranteed! Ah! And do not worry because they are super simple, you do not need to be a handyman to make them look spectacular. Crafts with plastic caps Trivet The plastic caps are perfect to make a fun and original placemat. To do this, you simply have to gather a few dozen (depending on the size you want your trivet to have, you will have to gather more or less, obviously) and glue the sides together with the help of transparent silicone or some special glue. It is a very versatile plastic craft since, depending on how you glue them, you can make round, square, elongated placemats ... endless possibilities! In addition, to give it a special touch you can paint them in colors. Flower-shaped Photo Holder / Card Holder You will love this option, because in addition to being beautiful, it is very versatile. It consists of joining five plugs with silicone forming the petals of a flower, stick one on top in the middle of the flower and join it with a wire (which you can glue from the back with silicone) to another plug that acts as a base, such as and as we show you in the photo. Paint them in the colors you want and with the help of a cutter, make a slit in the upper part of one of the petals, so that you can put the edge of a card or a photograph. It is perfect to decorate any room or to place on the tables of your celebrations, surprising your guests with a card with their name to indicate where they have to sit. Mirror With plastic caps, you can even make a mirror! Or rather decorate it, but with how beautiful it is, don't tell us that you don't want to do it. It is also very simple: buy a glass in a glass shop or reuse an old mirror that you have at home (this second option is the best so that it is a 100% ecofriendly craft) and glue the caps on the frame. Color them alternating two or three colors to make it much more beautiful. You had never imagined that plastic bottle caps could give so much play, right? Well now we are going to see what crafts you can make with plastic bottles. They have nothing to envy to those that we have already shown you! Crafts with large plastic bottles Vertical garden The result of this craft could not be more original. Place the bottle horizontally and cut a piece of plastic so that there is a hole in which dirt can get. Plant some seeds of your favorite plant and tie a wire or string at both ends so that you can hang it on the wall. To tie it, you can make a small incision on each side and pass the end of the rope inside. We recommend that you do it on an empty wall, because the more bottles you put in your vertical garden, the more spectacular it will be. Basket Order is vital to feel comfortable in our home, if not tell Marie Kondo! And one of the ways to get everything neat and clean is to place baskets on shelves and put all your things inside them. Thus, visually, there will not be so many utensils in sight and everything will be more orderly. You can make your own baskets with plastic bottles. To do this, you only have to cut the upper part of the carafe lower or higher depending on the depth you want your basket to have. Sand the edges so there are no blemishes, and now it's the fun part: decorating! We suggest that you make yourself with jute rope and wrap it around the carafe with the help of silicone. The effect is very minimalist but rustic and cozy, very much in line with current trends. Bowling This craft with small plastic bottles will love the little ones in the house (although not as much as these children's perfumes). It is also so easy that they can do it on their own without your help. You just have to fill old plastic bottles with sand, dirt or rice; close them and color and decorate them as you want (as always, this is the most fun part and where you can let your imagination run wild). Now you just have to put them in line, get a ball ... and play! You can also make crafts with plastic cups and plates as wall decorations or cupcake trays like the one shown in the photo. Cool right? If you are curious to know what actions we carry out in DIVAIN to take care of our planet, you can see them in the section of our website Planet First.

How to recycle plastic bags correctly

How to recycle plastic bags: 7 very original and simple ideas

Plastic is part of our daily lives, present in almost everything we do. However, it is one of the most polluting materials and has a very harmful effect on the planet's fauna and flora due to its chemical composition and slow degradation process. In fact, it is the number one enemy of the seas and oceans. At DIVAIN we are committed to the environment and we are part of the Planet First movement. That's why we want to dedicate this blog post to tell you how to recycle plastic bags. We have some very original ideas that are very easy to do. Discover them! 7 ideas for recycling plastic bags Did you know that a plastic supermarket bag can take 150 years to degrade? That's a lot of time! We are sure that you have used your bags more than once to go shopping again. But there are many other uses for them that you may not know about, here are a few ideas to inspire you! ;) By the way! If you want to help the environment in other ways, take a look at these three articles from our blog - they might interest you! 7 ideas for recycling your old jeans How to recycle used cooking oil How to make a toy from recycled material Making a case for your glasses Cut out a rectangle that matches one of the corners of the bottom of the bag and is approximately the size of your glasses. Then glue or silicone the open side with glue or silicone. Next, make several holes at the top (this will be the hole through which the glasses will be inserted) and thread a string or a piece of wool through the holes, one on the inside and one on the outside. You will now have the closure of your case and it will be ready to take your glasses anywhere you go. For freezing food Plastic can be a good substitute for the foil or film we use to freeze meat and fish. Cut your bag into smaller pieces and you will have plenty of freezer bags to wrap your food in. Definitely an easy and simple way to help the environment. Plastic flowers Give your favourite corners of the house a cheerful and colourful touch with beautiful bouquets made from plastic flowers. There are lots of original ways to create your own recycled flowers. The internet is full of step-by-step tutorials on how to make them. It can be a great way to decorate your home or also a nice handmade gift for that special someone. For pets Another way to reduce your environmental impact is to use plastic bags to collect your pet's droppings. This will save you money on the purchase of these bags and you can give a new life to your supermarket bags. Bracelets and necklaces If you are a lover of jewellery and crafts, let your imagination run wild and use the plastic bags to make your own personalised bracelets and necklaces. Cut the bag into three strips and gather them all together at one end to start making a braid with them while, at the same time, you gradually insert the beads you like at the ends of each strip. When you have the size you want, tie a knot at each end and glue the hooks. This is a great idea to do with young children to have a good time with them and raise awareness of the importance of recycling. Making coasters If you are a creative person and you like crafts, you will surely be interested to know how you can create your most original coasters. Cut out several pieces of the plastic bag in a circular shape. Then take some kitchen paper and cut several pieces of the same size and shape as the plastic circles. Next, you will need to glue all the layers of plastic and kitchen paper together; to do this, use the iron at a low temperature to prevent the plastic from sticking to it. The more layers of paper and plastic you use, the thicker and stronger your coasters will be. Also, if you use coloured or patterned bags, you will give them a unique and fun touch. Original tablecloths Finally, another idea for recycling your plastic bags is to create your own tablecloths. To do this, take three bags of different colours and place them on top of each other. If you want to personalise them, you can cut small pieces from other bags, with geometric shapes or silhouettes of whatever you can think of and place them on the top layer. Then add a layer to the bottom layer of baking paper and another layer on top. Take the iron and at a lukewarm temperature, pass it over the top. Now you will have your most original tablecloths ready to place on your terrace or living room table.

How to recycle plastic bags: 7 very original and simple ideas

Plastic is part of our daily lives, present in almost everything we do. However, it is one of the most polluting materials and has a very harmful effect on the planet's fauna and flora due to its chemical composition and slow degradation process. In fact, it is the number one enemy of the seas and oceans. At DIVAIN we are committed to the environment and we are part of the Planet First movement. That's why we want to dedicate this blog post to tell you how to recycle plastic bags. We have some very original ideas that are very easy to do. Discover them! 7 ideas for recycling plastic bags Did you know that a plastic supermarket bag can take 150 years to degrade? That's a lot of time! We are sure that you have used your bags more than once to go shopping again. But there are many other uses for them that you may not know about, here are a few ideas to inspire you! ;) By the way! If you want to help the environment in other ways, take a look at these three articles from our blog - they might interest you! 7 ideas for recycling your old jeans How to recycle used cooking oil How to make a toy from recycled material Making a case for your glasses Cut out a rectangle that matches one of the corners of the bottom of the bag and is approximately the size of your glasses. Then glue or silicone the open side with glue or silicone. Next, make several holes at the top (this will be the hole through which the glasses will be inserted) and thread a string or a piece of wool through the holes, one on the inside and one on the outside. You will now have the closure of your case and it will be ready to take your glasses anywhere you go. For freezing food Plastic can be a good substitute for the foil or film we use to freeze meat and fish. Cut your bag into smaller pieces and you will have plenty of freezer bags to wrap your food in. Definitely an easy and simple way to help the environment. Plastic flowers Give your favourite corners of the house a cheerful and colourful touch with beautiful bouquets made from plastic flowers. There are lots of original ways to create your own recycled flowers. The internet is full of step-by-step tutorials on how to make them. It can be a great way to decorate your home or also a nice handmade gift for that special someone. For pets Another way to reduce your environmental impact is to use plastic bags to collect your pet's droppings. This will save you money on the purchase of these bags and you can give a new life to your supermarket bags. Bracelets and necklaces If you are a lover of jewellery and crafts, let your imagination run wild and use the plastic bags to make your own personalised bracelets and necklaces. Cut the bag into three strips and gather them all together at one end to start making a braid with them while, at the same time, you gradually insert the beads you like at the ends of each strip. When you have the size you want, tie a knot at each end and glue the hooks. This is a great idea to do with young children to have a good time with them and raise awareness of the importance of recycling. Making coasters If you are a creative person and you like crafts, you will surely be interested to know how you can create your most original coasters. Cut out several pieces of the plastic bag in a circular shape. Then take some kitchen paper and cut several pieces of the same size and shape as the plastic circles. Next, you will need to glue all the layers of plastic and kitchen paper together; to do this, use the iron at a low temperature to prevent the plastic from sticking to it. The more layers of paper and plastic you use, the thicker and stronger your coasters will be. Also, if you use coloured or patterned bags, you will give them a unique and fun touch.
