Save your "oranges" net bags

peg it out in an embroidery frame, or over a book, or old small picture frame and weave with threads, yarn, shells or other found items to make pictures for gifts or cards
if you make them square you can join them together to make mats/coasters/rugs etc with thrifted fabrics

Hi there

I grow some of my own veggies and keep nets for making hammocks for squash, melons etc so the plants don't snap under the weight -and it keeps things out of the reach of slugs

I've heard that people use these as hair nets for their dogs to stop the ears going in the food. You couldn't make this !!!! up.

have been buying a lot of oranges this past while. they come in a net packaging, as do my plums, necterines, kiwis.

You're better off not using this packaging - it's better to reduce than recycle Buy your fruit and veg loose from a farm shop, and take it home in a reusable bag.

I'll add this to an existing thread to keep ideas together.
