With Homax’s Tarp Hook you can reuse your empty plastic water or soda bottles by turning them into weights to keep your tarp in place. You can also make a bird feeder or insect trap out of ’em, clip ’em to your pack to carry some extra water, or replace those nailed-up baby-food jars with ’em.
Simply screw the tarp hook onto the bottle in place of the normal cap. Then fill it with the appropriate stuff for your application.
A four-pack of tarp hooks runs about $5.

‘nailed-up baby jars’??
How exactly do you use those?
Sorry,
That’s something that I was left over from the draft
Originally the concept I was going for was:
Old timers used baby jars to store rusty screws and nails. They would
nail the lids into the cabinet or ceiling above and screw the jars
into the lids. With these clips you could use plastic
water bottle to replace them.
‘nailed-up baby jars’ was left in, somebody hopefully should fix it soon.
Baby jar lids are screwed to the under side of a shelf. A quarter turn of the jar will remove or replace the storage container.

Please! Leave in the “nailed-up baby-food jars”! It’s the perfect imagery! My father’s and grandfather’s shops all had those!
Old timers ? Watch it sonny!!!
These are a really, REALLY cool idea.
Just one of the many great ways that plastic bottles can be reused instead of sitting in a landfill.
