In our junk drawer is a bag of zip ties that have come in handy far more often than we thought they would when we picked them up from the store. While we’ve used them for a lot, we can’t say we ever used them to build furniture. The Zip Tie Lounge Chair uses those cheap ties to hold just a few pieces of plywood together to form your new spot to relax. The chair is made from just 16 square feet of plywood so you can build it up and tear it down with ease. You’ve got the option to order it from a local craftsman or to download the plans and put it all together yourself. Plus, when you need to tie a bag together, just remove an armrest.
