Plastic Bottles

Don't throw away those plastic bottles! I've got some ideas for you. One year I realized just how many water bottles that I was consuming every day (about 3). This meant that I was wasting well over 1000 empty plastic bottles every year! This astounding me when I think about it; it is also put into motion one of the hardest projects I have ever completed--the water bottle Christmas tree.

I saved up all my water bottles one year, spent hours upon hours gluing them together. When it was finally done, I strung lights down the middle of the column to illuminate it. It was a beautiful and proud moment for me.

Plastic bottles can be used for so many repurposing ideas. Gardening comes to mind. They make great temporary planters. They can be transformed into vases or a miniature greenhouse. Turn them into bird feeders. Cut them into flower shapes and spray paint to make a garden that will never die.
