DIY Plastic Bottle Craft Ideas

Practically everyone drinks soda and if you are someone who prefers 2 liter bottles, you may have mounds of plastic to throw away at the end of the month. Instead of throwing out those bottles, we have some great ideas on how you can repurpose them into fun and creative crafts.
Many of these crafts are kid friendly so if your little ones are bored during the cold winter months and just can’t get outside, you can help them to create a bit of fun and take care of some of your plastic waste at the same time.

There are great projects for banks, planters and just about anything else you can think of using those 2 liter bottles. Imagine what fun you’ll have creating homemade trinkets and décor with your plastic. Not only do you save yourself a bit of plastic to recycle, you’ll have a blast using those bottles to create some of the most adorable crafts ever.
DIY recycling projects are always cool, especially when you can turn your trash into something new and useful. We’ve written posts about ways to recycle before, but it turns out there’s so much that you can do with recycle plastic bottles that they deserved their own post.

If you love birds and you want to rid your home of some of those 2 liter bottles, use them to create beautiful bird feeders. You can use any color scheme you want and these little feeders take very little time to create. Paint them or cover them with fabric swatches and hang them wherever your little bird friends may visit.

The PET plastic that most plastic beverage bottles are made of is a fairly useful material – it’s resilient, flexible, transparent and food safe. As such, there are probably countless applications for these bottles that will give them second lives. These are a great place to start, but can you think of your own as well?

This is a great project for kids, even younger ones. These adorable and colorful tropical fish are easy to make and the project requires very few supplies. This is a really good project for teachers, camp leaders or any parent who just wants something fun for their kids to create. Just cut the bottle appropriately and then have fun creating loads of colors for your “fish”.
