In this article, you will find some ideas for reusing plastic bottles.
In this series of articles, we want to help you take a fresh look at the long familiar, everyday things that surround us, and try to give them a new bright life. Last time we talked about toilet paper rolls, today we have an equally romantic craft object. Plastic bottles!
1. Containers for cosmetics or toiletries
- Find several plastic bottles of different colors and shapes.
- Cut the bottom to the desired height.
- Hot iron the edges.
- Use it!
2. Packaging for bulk products
If you buy cereals, pasta and other bulk products by weight, then using a neck from a plastic bottle can greatly facilitate their storage and use.
- Cut off the top of the bottle.
- We unscrew the cork and pass the upper part of the bag inside.
- We wrap the bag outward and tighten the cork.
Now it will be much more convenient for you to measure out the required amount of loose powder, and it will not be possible to scatter it throughout the kitchen. For clearer instructions, see the following video.
3. A container for small items with a zipper
- Cut off the bottoms of two bottles.
- Use a glue gun to glue the zipper to the cut line.
- Join the two halves together.
4. Flower pots
Here you can apply so many different solutions and designs that it all depends on your imagination. We just give a few possible options to stir it up (your imagination).
5. Safe transportation of flowers
If you want to give someone a living flower and do not know how to deliver it safe and sound, make a safety cap of a suitable size from a plastic bottle.
6. Fruit bowl
- Cut off the bottom of the bottle.
- Gently hold it over the fire so that it changes its shape.
- Use a soldering iron on the surface to form air-bubble-like indentations.
7. Container for toys
Just one ribbon and two strings will turn a plastic bottle into a transparent container for small toys.
8. Thread holder
If you or someone close to you knits, check out this simple plastic bottle gadget that keeps balls of yarn from running around the room.
We hope you find some of the suggested ideas useful. And if you have your own experience in the unusual use of used plastic bottles, then share it in the comments.
