Overview

It's hard to get through a day without interacting with plastic in one way or another. From your plastic juice bottle or take out container, to your 3D prints and clothes hangers. Everywhere you turn there is plastic, so share how you incorporate plastic into your project for a chance to win a gift card.

There is also a special prize for the best use of Tinkercad within an Instructable. Please remember to include files created using Tinkercad, or embed a 3D model viewer.

The Plastic Contest is closed.
