I am on oxygen. I change my tubing frequently. I always put the old tubing in my recycle bin. I would love to do something with it but don't know where to start. Any ideas?

I worked as an in home nurse for years with kids on ventilators and/or chronic severe health problems. Some parents had us nurses clean them for reuse using vinegar and hanging them to dry. Being flexable, the tubing can take on any shape you put them in to make forms to make flowers and other shapes.. You can wrap them with tinsel ropes and use it to hang Christmas cards or wrap it with fabric to hang grandkids artwork, many things like that. You can also use them as a bumper to keep things away from a wall or hitting a door. You can even slit them and use them to hold pages of paper that you need to keep together, like pages you print for a project to keep them together and handy.

If you have plants you can use it to water them. Place a container of water a little higher than the soil level, and create a siphon from the water to the plant. Stick the hose end in the plant and the soil will prevent the water from entering too quickly.
