Do away with plastic-cutlery clutter in kitchen drawers with these simple organisers made with empty bleach bottles.
Plastic cutlery usually stays behind in the takeaway paper bag or gets discarded without another thought. But with sets available in vibrant colours, solid black or even designed by Philippe Starck, these former disposable objects are now irresistibly collectable.
Rather than dump them in the bottom drawer to join the assortment of straws, chopsticks and other odds and ends, make a special home for them in no time at all. Manufacturers of bleach and detergent packaging have ventured into a palette of brights and limited editions of silver and gold.
Collect six bottles in the colour of your choice, remove the labels, rinse well and slice off the spouts with a sharp kitchen knife or Stanley knife. It’s as easy as that.
