You have plastic bottles that accumulate and you don’t know what to do with them? Before you throw them away, imagine anything you could create with a little ingenuity. Simple containers can become practical, decorative and even playful objects. Find out how these bottles can be turned into original and sustainable solutions.
Why recycle plastic bottles?
Before discovering DIY ideas, let’s talk about their environmental impact. Every year, millions of tons of plastic pollute nature and take centuries to decompose. By giving them a second life, you reduce your waste while saving money. And above all, you give free rein to your creativity.
Creative and practical ideas for reusing your bottles
For the garden: malignant watering and original pots
Your garden can benefit greatly from the recycling of the bottles. Here are some ideas:
Automatic watering: cut a bottle, pierce the cap and bury it next to your plants. The water will flow slowly, ensuring continuous hydration.
Suspended flower pots: cut a bottle in half, paint it and hang it with ropes. An ideal solution for small spaces.
A mini-greenhouse: place the top of a bottle on a young person
For the home: storage and decoration at low cost
Plastic bottles also turn into practical objects to organize your interior:
Flexible storage: cut them and assemble them to store pencils, jewelry or small accessories.
An original lamp: with an LED garland and a little cut, create a single night light.
A recycled plastic curtain: by assembling coloured bottle bottoms, you will get a lightweight and design separation.
For children: toys and play activities
