Plastic Bottles ReUSE

!!! Plastic Bottles !!!

There are too many plastic bottles discarded everyday. Time to put another man's trash to good use. Here are some beautiful reuse ideas :) 

For each project image, I have included links to tutorials and/or additional information. All of these projects can be done at home and require few additional materials to construct.

Please post your own great plastic reuse bottle projects! Thank you for visiting my blog.

Cascading flowers = These beautiful cascading flowers were designed by the amazing artist Michelle Brand using the bottoms of plastic bottles. All that is needed to construct this beautiful display is scissors, clear plastic bottles, some sort of punching tool, and string. See the below tutorial for details.

Funky = This funky mobile was designed by an European artist. I cannot find his name so if you know please post. It looks like he used fishing line, a punch, scissors, a plastic bottle or two, and perhaps an iron. 

#7

EFFICIENTLY AESTHETIC = Recycled plastic bottles can be wall mounted to create a clever and efficient newspaper holder. Scissors, screws, a punched metal strip, plastic bottles, and a drill will likely do the trick. It also looks like a rubber strip of sorts was added for extra support.
