Step 1
AN OUTDOOR VASE
Want to add a small bouquet of flowers to your picnic? Put some pebbles or small rocks in the bottom of a water bottle for weight. Add some water and a few flowers and you've got a pretty addition to your picnic and an easy way to reuse water bottles. -
Step 2
A TO-GO CONTAINER FOR LAUNDRY SOAPS OR FABRIC SOFTENERS
Reuse water bottles as travel-size containers to take with you to the laundromat. Fill them with fabric softener or laundry soap and you're on your way to helping the environment. -
Step 3
SMALL PLANTERS
If you'd like to grow a few plants, why not start them in water bottles? Simply cut the tops of the water bottles off, poke a few holes in the bottom, fill with dirt and seeds. -
Step 4
ICE PACKS
I reuse water bottles by filling them with water again and freezing them. They work great in keeping coolers chilled. (I don't suggest drinking the water if you've used the bottles more than once, but that's just me.) -
Step 5
BOWLING PINS
Bird seed, dried beans, beads, etc. are great fillers for your recycled water bottles. You'll have instant bowling pins which your kids will enjoy. Have them roll a ball and they'll soon be having a ball themselves. -
Step 6
DOORSTOP
Fill with sand, colorful beads, etc. and you have an instant doorstop. On windy days, you'll be thanking yourself that you decided to reuse your water bottles in this creative way! -
Step 7
WEIGHTS
Fill with sand or other dense object(s) and you have some hand weights. You'll be losing weight, getting healthier, and recycling...what could be better than that?! -
Step 8
DRY STORAGE CONTAINER
Store cash, pens, documents in used water bottles to keep your items dry when boating, kayaking, etc. -
Step 9
ODDS AND ENDS CONTAINER
Use old water bottles to store screws, bolts, rubber bands, paper clips, etc. Basically anything small in your office, workshop, kitchen, wherever!
