Recycled Replacement Spatula Handles

I had 2 spatulas made to use in frying pans that can withstand up to 400 degrees F. Without fail, within a year of use, the plastic handle would break, and I'd have to buy a new spatula. I saved the good spatula ends, which didn't show any use at all, and searched and searched the house over for a substitute handle that would fit.

Ah ha! I finally spotted a long, plastic window shade plastic insert, used to give body to the bottom of the shade. I broke it in half, and sure enough, the broken pieces fit tightly into the spatulas, making them fully usable again! And I have more of these plastic inserts that I can use to replace these, if they break!
