Just want to say a big thank you everyone who is participating in my first Waste Not Want Not Wednesday. I love recycling, and I know you guys have some amazing ideas when it comes up upcycling....
So I am going to kick off with an easy to make and amazingly beautiful Bowl made of Chopsticks made by Stephan Vigues...chopsticks can you believe it?
Only 30 chopsticks and a piece of wood is used to make a bowl with a contemporary look.
Skill Level
Easy
Materials
3/4 inch Plywood or pallet wood
30 Chopsticks
the tiniest nail you can find
wood glue
Tools
A good jigsaw that cuts with angle, or a regular jigsaw
A file
A compass
How to make it:
On your piece of
wood, draw an 8.5 inches circle, if you have the angle cutting jigsaw, cut the
circle with 30 degrees angle. If you don't have a jigsaw, you'll have to be
patient and with a file, remove enough material to get the 30 degrees angle.
Once this is
cut, you did the most difficult part.
Now you need to
nail and stick the chopsticks all around the circle like this:
Leave the equivalent of a chopstick between two chopsticks.
A trick to nail easily, is to pre-drill with a tiny drill bit
to help the nailing.
And Voila.....
Conclusion:
An easy to do
project. The nails + glue give a very sturdy creation.
