7 Easy DIY Ideas for Reusing Empty Bottles
When you buy something in a glass bottle and empty it, the bottle becomes useless. However, this is not entirely true as there are many ways you can reuse these bottles. One option is to turn them into decorative items for your home. This is a simple and time-efficient project.
We have curated 7 projects for you to consider and select from.
A simple project is to transform an empty glass bottle into a vase. This example demonstrates that applying washi tape to a bottle can create a stylish decoration. All you need for this project is an empty bottle and different colored washi tape.
Begin by taping around the base and gradually work your way up, allowing you to create your own unique design.
If you have empty bottles of different shapes and sizes, you can transform them into decorative potion bottles. Gather the bottles, black matte spray paint, a paper sack, a tea bag, and some wine corks. Start by removing the caps, plastic rings, and labels, then wash the bottles thoroughly. Apply several coats of paint to the bottles. Next, cut the sides of the paper sack and crumple it into a ball.
Soak the paper in hot water with the tea bag for a few minutes, then spread it flat and let it dry. Tear the paper into labels and stick them onto the bottles. Remember to write on the labels before applying them.
Here’s a simple project using empty glass bottles. It requires minimal materials and can be completed quickly. Start by washing and drying the bottles.
Then, begin wrapping twine around them from the bottom. Secure the twine with a small amount of glue and continue applying glue little by little as you work your way to the top.
This project is best for transparent glass bottles, though colored ones can still be used. Use tape to create a pattern on the bottle, leaving the areas covered clear and transparent. Apply spray paint to the bottle and, once dry, remove the tape to reveal the pattern.
Another idea is to use puff paint to draw or create a pattern on the bottle. This will make the picture look like part of the glass. For the top area of the bottle, use hot glue and twine to create a simple ornament.
You can also apply this technique to other parts of the bottle.
If you’re feeling talented and crafty, you can also draw patterns on your painted bottles with a permanent black marker. You can choose geometric patterns or flowers and involve your kids in the project.
Our last project is very simple. You only need a few bottles of different shapes and sizes and some chalkboard paint. Begin by washing and drying the bottles and removing the labels. Then, apply two coats of chalkboard spray paint to the bottles. Now, you can draw or write anything you want on them.
It’s fun and easy.
