6 crafts you can make from recycled plastic bottles

by Jen

Instructables seems to be on a quest lately to show us how many things we can make out of old plastic bottles. These are my favorites from the ones I’ve seen (yes, there are even more!):

1. Plastic bottle stained glass candle holder – pictured here, so cool!
2. Wind spinner – hangs in a tree, spins in the wind, mesmerizes you. What more could you want?
3. Soda bottle herb garden – takes up little space, makes it easier to keep your herbs watered
4. Solar hot water kettle – uses the sun to heat water up to 95 degrees (even when it’s below freezing out)  for handwashing or sun tea while camping
5. Lampshade from recycled water bottles – you have to see this one to believe it
6. Make a clutch purse from plastic bottles – very cute!
