In every house, family, glass bottles accumulate over time. Make useful things out of them, and bottles will no longer be trash for you.
Candlesticks from the upper and lower halves of the bottles
Cut the bottle in half. Arrange the candles on a table or shelf, cover them with the top halves of the bottles. Glass will give beautiful highlights and a more even flame.
Candlesticks can also be made from the bottom halves of the bottles. To do this, grind the edges of the lower halves so as not to cut yourself. You can decorate the cut beautifully. For example so. Pour a thin layer of sweet water into a saucer (half a glass of water - two tablespoons of sugar). Next, prepare a deep plate with granulated sugar.
Now immerse the bottle glasses in a saucer and immediately dip into a bowl of sugar. An even thin trace of sugar forms on the glass. When it dries, there will be a beautiful snow border.
Put a candle in the prepared glass and light it.
Torch
Prepare material for the wick. Fill the bottle 1/3 full with decorative stones. Pour fuel into it. Insert and secure the wick. You can complement the torch with various decorative elements. Make sure the wick is wet with your fuel. Light it up.
You can use such a torch to light the gazebo in your garden.
Bird feeders
Feeders can be made from inverted bottles and cans. Fill bottles or jars with food (grains, seeds, cereals). Cover with saucer and turn upside down. Some of the food will spill out onto the saucer. As the birds peck at the food, it will gradually be added again until it completely ends in the container.
Another variation of the feeder suggests that you drill a hole (maybe more than one) for a small bird to stick its head in and peck the food directly into the bottle.
Such feeders can be beautifully decorated, hung on trees in the garden. They will become a true decoration of your site.
Fencing with bottles of beds
Fencing beds with bottles looks very impressive and decorative. It is better if the bottles are the same color. To make a beautiful fence, dig a groove along the contour of the bed.
Insert the bottles with their necks down, compact the earth around them.
Glowing paths in the garden
An interesting solution is the design of paths in the garden with bottles. According to the device, it is similar to the fence of the beds. But there is an important addition here. An LED garland is laid along the bottom of the groove intended for fencing. As the bottles are installed, an LED light starts up in them. The earth then around the bottles should be compacted.
Thus, a fence for a path of luminous bottles is obtained. It looks especially impressive at night.
sun bunnies
From the bottoms of the bottles you can make hanging sun reflectors - catchers of sunbeams. This will create a play of light and a festive mood.
They are made simply - ordinary water clamps are attached to the bottoms, only of a large diameter.
And a rope is already fastened behind them and the bottoms are hung on trees. If desired, the bottoms can be painted, decorated.
Bottle vases
There is a huge field for imagination here. Vases can be made tabletop. Or attach to the wall.
You can additionally decorate the bottles, for example, with salt or sparkles.
The bottle is smeared with some kind of glue (for example, Bustilat or PVA). Then it is rolled on the table on a pile of salt or sprinkled with sparkles on top.
You can decorate the bottle with jewelry and it will turn into a treasure bottle.
Money box
Champagne bottles are good for piggy banks. It is especially great to start saving up for the New Year, and at the end of the year to break the filled bottle for happiness and buy some gift with the accumulated funds.
Watering bottles for plants
Take an empty bottle with a narrow neck and fill it with water. Standing next to the plant you want to water, quickly turn the bottle upside down and stick the neck into the soil next to the plant. Make sure the bottle fits well up to the shoulders into the soil. The water will seep into the soil for several days, keeping the soil evenly moist.
garden lamp
Take a tin can, carefully cut off the lid completely. Attach it to a pole of the desired length.
Paint everything dark. Fasten the pole in the place you want.
From a beautiful decorative bottle or jar, cut off the bottom. Attach it to the tin so that you can remove it if necessary. Put a candle in a can, light it and cover it with prepared glass.
