Bottle Caps for Free and Environmental-friendly Laptop Stands

Got this inspiration because I feel the temperature under my laptop is quite hot. Since the original laptop stands is low, so the air circulation is not good for heat release. And I got this idea after seeing bunch of plastics waste – most of them is bottle and separated from organic waste – in my house. Well, why not use the bottle caps for laptop stands ^^

I also use broken file binder for laptop base if I use my laptop in bedroom.
