You can create this beautiful shelf case for your home with a pair of crutches. It is as simple as it looks. The further designing part is all your choice.
All In The Frame!
A family picture is mandatory when all the members are present. It is already hard to gather everyone in one place and above that, the problem arises when the picture needs to be clicked. Who will click it? The one who will be behind the camera would miss being a part of the photo. So, this family brought in a mirror and included everyone in the frame (and mirror!).
Next time, try taking a selfie too! It might be worth an upload too.
What a view!
Watching your favorite game in the ground with the players playing right in front of you is fascinating. There can be a few challenges too while you are sitting, one being the distance that constrains your fun.
This guy came up with an idea that would give him a nice view from very close. Binoculars with your phone placed in your eye view is a good trick but we can’t say if you can hold it for long. It might get tiring.
