After seeing this impressive Christmas tree, made out of plastic bottles, on Unconsumption, I thought it would be fun to gather other upcycling ideas for the humble plastic bottle off Pinterest.
1. Plastic room divider/curtain.
2. Plastic bottle apartment garden
3. Wintry Christmas Stars
4. Magic Fairy Lights
5. Cool art installation
6. Plastic bottle ‘crystal’ vase
It might all seem a bit light and whimsical, but plastic bottles are a massive waste problem, with 2.4 million tonnes discarded every year. Unfortunately, turning bottles into vases isn’t going to make a dent in the problem. But maybe, just maybe making houses out of bottles might be the way forward. I love this school in the Phillipines -I think its beautiful.
