#1 The almost free beamer
To start with the main part of this article. Suppose you want to watch Netflix with your friends, but you’re out of luck. So ordering a beamer is out of the question. Fortunately, there is a solution. In India, most people don’t have a lot of money either, but they like to watch movies. This genius Indian turns a cheap old smartphone, a lens and an LED lamp into a dirt-cheap beamer. With a second lens you can also focus the beam.
Use a white LED lamp that is as bright as possible. Preferably 1500 lumens or more.
#2 Pistachio party lights
After a night of chilling with Netflix, with a few bags of pistachios, you’re left with a tub full of pistachio shells. Couldn’t you do something with that? As a genuine nerd, our Indian has of course also come up with a solution for this. This allows you to create your own atmospheric lotus lighting.
#3 The budget lava lamp
This lava lamp can also be built for a small price. So if you want to spoil yourself or a friend with a cool gadget, then this is definitely recommended. Most parts are virtually free.
#4 The free vase
Do you have waste paper and need a vase? Good news. That is not a problem with waste paper. See this instruction video. This gadget also comes from India.
#5 Free flowers
Of course, this vase is less useful with cut flowers, because a bunch of tulips or roses cannot go very long without water. And water and paper is like water and fire, a fatal combination. Unless you want to macrame.
So you need artificial flowers. This also has the advantage that they last longer. To buy? No. Look at this clever Vietnamese with busy fingers making real works of art out of crepe paper.
