Scrappy String Storage for My Sister?

Do you have a big wiry mannequin in your house? Are you out of space to your things? Do you have a lot of random junk? Well I have the project for you.


All you Gotta do is take the string or string of adjacent stuff that is presumably on your floor then take the leftover pill bottle on your floor, tie those two together, and then tie it to your wiry guy. Anyways, that’s the project.



Please feel free to read the rest of this, this is an improvisational exercise, but clarification is generally chill. There will be bad puns at the end, just as a list. because I can.

Supplies

All you need my friend’s is!!!


  1. Random string and string adjacent things( elastic, floss, extra hair???)
  2. Junk, (old bottles, the carcasses of long used plastic, fabric scraps.
  3. chaotic urges
  4. Scissors or strong jaws.

Find Your Wirey Guy

I use this as a sewing mannequin, and now I use it to hold my stuff as well. Do you have anything like this? Something strong and stable enough to tie a bunch of rope two that’s gonna have a bunch of weight on it.


Make sure to balance the size of your containers to how much weight your guy can actually handle, for example, with Martha here, I’ve tied smaller lighter containers to the top of her body while weighing down her feet with heavier, bigger boxes.


This won’t make her sink any faster in the water, because she is made of metal, but it will stop her from falling onto me, which is nice you know.

Find Your Junky Junk

Now is the time to collect your supplies, scravenge around your floor, steal your sister’s shoelaces, tear up an old blanket that you really don’t wanna think about anymore.

Turn it into rope.


Take your old pill bottles, Sprite bottles, light fixtures, and more empty them out, put holes in them whatever you need to do. Then tie them to the rope too.

And Tie Them All Togeather

Now tie it to your frame like you’re a very feral plastic obsessed spider, improvise, improvise, improvise, baby. Make sure to test what weight your webbing can hold, and make sure to put it together in a way where the knots won’t start to slip.


Now after some pico googling I believe that what I’ve used here is a basic Halfhitch stitch, but I could be wrong about that. I was the theater kid on stage not one of the cool people in all black;

but if you wanna learn how to do knots better than me here’s another instructbles I found https://www.instructables.com/Basic-Knots-for-Beginners/

Do That Until You Run Out of Stuff or Space
