We always have these things around the house we have no idea what to do with because they’ve already exhausted their intended purpose and we tend to just throw ’em out. One of these things is bottles. Glass, plastic or metal. We all have some of these hoarded around in the storeroom of our house.
We always think of reusing them but never really get to it. So here I come bearing simple ideas that may help to reuse them in the simplest, less time-consuming way.
So, let’s see if we can make the best out of waste!
1. Plastic bottles into bracelets
Cut the round part of the body of the plastic bottle in whatever width you need and round off the edges using an iron on medium temperature. All you have to do is paint these rings and use them as bracelets!
2. Chandeliers
There are different ways of creating this from all parts of a plastic or a glass bottle. There’s really no restriction people. Explore your imagination!
3. Simple centerpiece
It’s easy It’s clean. It’s classy. Just stage a few bottles with flowers in the center of the table and see your hall transform.
4. Twinkle lights
Just put some fairy lights in your tainted wine bottles are see the magic!
5. Bedside lamps
Attach a lampshade and a lamp on top of a tall bottle and make the perfect bedside light source.
6. Citronella candles
Keep the mosquitoes away, in the classiest way!
7. Soap dispenser
Fashion a soap dispenser out of a wine/beer bottle and change the way your bathroom looks instantly!
8. Bird feeder
Hang a bottle filled with bird feed for our beautiful, tiny aviating friends.

12. Glass bottle hanging garden
Turn these bottles into flower pots and hang them in your balcony or veranda for an earthy feel. It’s perfect for nature lovers.
13. Glass bottle wind chime
Cut the glass bottles in different shapes and string them along to fashion a beautiful wind chime out of these pieces!
14. Vertical garden with discarded plastic bottles
Now isn’t this eco- friendly!
15. Jewellery stand

16. Cute planters
Use the bottom part of a big Coke bottle sitting in your house and make this super cute stuff!
17. Durable purse

18. Pencil/marker holder
Why buy one? Make it yourself!
19. Bottle cap decorations
Embroidery with caps instead of yarn.
20. Glasses out of beer bottles
This could take some skill, but once done, you’ll absolutely fall in love with your work.
21. Rope/yarn wrapped vases
Wrap the bottles in ropes and different colored yarns. You can even paint over them to make them look even more lively!
22. Serving trays
Half n half works out just fine. 🙂
23. Themed gift bottles/ chalkboard paint
Glitterize ’em, paint them with metallic colors or simply paint them with chalkboard paint and write personalized messages on them or simply whatever you like.
24. Ottoman seat
Collect all the big plastic bottles you can find and stack them together. Now, stick two round cardboard pieces covering these bottles from the top and bottom. To keep this structure in place add layers of styrofoam everywhere. when that’s done, cover this structure with the fabric of your choice and, voila!
25. Hanging lights
Put candles, lamps or anything that gives light and transform your place into a magical land.
26. Photo frames
Paste a picture on a bottle and embellish the bottle with anything ranging from buttons to glitter. This serves to be a pretty and a quirky reminder of your memories.
27. Wine bottle candles
If your bottles are broken or you really wanna break them, this is perfect for you. Just smoothen the edges with fire and put them around your candles or place your candles in them.
28. Gilded Bottles
