Plastic bottle DIYs are something that can come in handy almost anywhere, anytime, because plastic bottles are pretty much ubiquitous with modern life. Reports have it you can even find plastic bottles on desert islands, having washed ashore after being dispensed from some soda machine or convenience store.
These 5 DIY hacks are part of Brightside’s 5-minute crafts.
1) Squeeze bottle. If you thought squeeze bottles were a special kind of bottle you had to buy, you’ve got news coming to you. Heat up the lid of a pop bottle with a lighter or candle, push a nib into it with a wooden stick, and cut the end off. Then re-affix it to the bottle, filled with whatever you want to dispense.
2) Holder for pens or make-up. Using a hot iron, you can smooth out the sharp edge of a bottle cut in half.
3) Actually #3 was kind of not that valuable, so we’ll skip it.
4) Dispenser for crystals, powder, etc in a bag: cut the top section off a bottle, remove the cap. Then feed the plastic bag’s open end through the cut off part. When you put the lid on again, it will hold the bag in place. You can either cut a hole in the lid or not.
5) Controlled-water plant holder. You can see from the diagram, one bottle is put into another. And that inverted bottle has a cord of cloth (tied in a knot on the top side so it doesn’t fall through), falls into the water held in the bottle used as a stand.
