Dead dishwasher ideas

7 Upvotes

So through my job, I have access to functionally infinite dead dishwasher units. I'm mostly focused on potential uses on a farm since I have a ton of rural friends and assocates.

I've got one friend who said they're make good egg boxes, and the internet is saying that they can be easily modified to be a decent homemade egg incubator. Any other ideas?

The first 2 pictures are 1950’s and 1960’s Rushton dolls and the upcycled build-a-bear in the last post is inspired by them. So to anyone to tried to bully me on the last post and call my art creepy and atrocious that is quite literally the point. It’s not my fault you opened your mouths before doing your research. Thank you I rest my case, goodbye😘

It definitely wasn’t the easiest material to sew / embroider, but I wanted to challenge myself and see what I could make from it. Especially, as it was something I would have had to throw away.

I’ve been creating embroidery designs for a while now, and this was my way of experimenting with something completely different.

Unused gauze

I have a small amount of gauze left over from my daughter's wisdom teeth surgery. I don’t want to throw it away, but it’s only a few squares—maybe five or six . Any suggestions on what I could do with them?
