No doubt about it, we live in a throwaway society. If something breaks or just gets slightly damaged, we get rid of it or pay big bucks to have it repaired so it looks like new again.
But why don’t we ever take the time to get creative with these mishaps? To use our brains a little bit so we can continue to enjoy these things instead of trashing them.
I have a feeling that after you see what these folks did with broken and damaged items, you might change your thinking on this issue because these examples are all really impressive.
Let’s take a look at what these creative people came up with!
