Alex's Repurposing Project: GSU (Gravity-defying Storage Unit)

After about 20 minutes of roaming the interwebs,  I found a repurposing idea that's simple and flexible.

Here's list of supplies to get this going

  • Binder clips (I've found the smaller ones easier to work with)
  • Some tape (optional, can save you some binder clips and/or satisfy your urge to tape stuff)
  • A toilet paper roll, styrofoam cup, or paper and other stuff once you get the gist of making these.
Now for some visual aid


With the toilet paper roll, you'll have to flatten it a bit and use a binder clip to pinch the bottom. If you don't feel like using a binder clip there, you can fold the bottom behind it and use tape to hold it. Then you hang it on a nail or hook up after putting a binder clip on a top edge.
For a styrofoam cup you just slap on (not literally) a binder clip and hang it up. Don't worry about disfiguring the cup, for it does not feel pain or shame.

This little craft doesn't take too much time and it can save some resources while providing some nice storage wherever you may need it. You can store away anything and have it readily available whenever you need it, whether it be pencils, markers, pens, and even little woodland creatures.


Here be the source of knowledge responsible for the creation of the magnificent GSU
