A few years ago, plastic beverage bottles were thrown away. This continued until creative people, craftsmen, began to use empty containers for other purposes, not always similar to its main purpose. And very successfully: today the scope of use of empty plastic bottles is very wide. The containers get their second life in the kitchen, in the house, in the form of various devices that make life more convenient, in the front gardens, making it easier to work on the beds and performing the functions of garden decorations.

Instructions
Step 1
Plastic bottles are an indispensable item in the household. For example, they can be used for water, storage of kvass, compote and other drinks. It is convenient to put a small container in a bag so that, if necessary, you can always quench your thirst or drink medicine.
Step 2
Cut off the top of the bottle. Attach it with tape to the bottom on both sides, imitating some semblance of a furniture hinge with adhesive tape. In this case, the upper part will be a lid, the lower one - a container in which you can store bulk items, cereals.
Step 3
Any size bottle bottom with a bottom makes a convenient phone holder while charging. To make it, cut off the top of the bottle. You can throw it away, you won't need it anymore. Then make the holder yourself from the remaining part, for this, mark on the bottle and cut out a "tongue" that can be hung on a hook or stud. If you cut a hole slightly larger than the outlet, you can hang the pocket holder directly on it.
Step 4
You can also make a scoop from a plastic bottle for bulk items, cereals, flour, etc.
Step 5
If you connect nine 1.5-liter bottles with tape (you can fill them two-thirds with water beforehand) and cover them with fabric and foam rubber, you get a comfortable ottoman. In the same way, only with a much larger number of plastic containers, you can make a "coffee" table, sofa, sleeping place for relaxing in the garden.
Step 6
Fill the bottles with sand and dig them in along the paths, beds, flower beds, paint - you will get original borders and decorative fences.
Step 7
Gardeners use bottles to protect trees from rodents. To do this, it is enough to "dress" the barrel in a plastic outfit. The bottle must first be cut and then wrapped around the barrel. For reliability, you can fix the resulting "seam" of the bottle with tape.
Step 8
Cut the bottles on both sides, insert them deep into the soil. Plant the seedlings in the resulting "containers": in such a "house" the roots of plants will be reliably protected from many garden pests, including the bear.
Step 9
If you cut out the side of a five-liter bottle and attach ears, eyes and other additions to it, paint it, and then fill it with earth, you can get an original flower bed for flowers or greenery.
Step 10
Take a stalk, eight plastic bottles. Cut them into narrow strips and place them on the cutting. Secure the bottles with nails or self-tapping screws so that they do not slide off the handle. You will have a comfortable garden panicle.
Step 11
Plastic bottles are widely used for decorating personal plots and making garden sculptures. Make a little effort, imagination, and funny hedgehogs, a frog princess, birds, animals and fairy-tale characters will settle in your front garden. To decorate the site, you can also make flowers: lilies of the valley, chamomile, cornflowers, dahlias, asters, etc.
Step 12
The easiest way to usefully recycle brown and green plastic bottles is to make a palm tree from them. To do this, cut off the bottom of dark bottles, put the upper part (it can be slightly cut by making needles or "petals") on a rod or strong wire. Make the trunk of the future palm tree in this way. Make a crown for a tree from green bottles that need to be cut into large strips of leaves. Secure the crown with a cork. If you wish, you can hang "bananas" on the palm tree, for which small bottles of yogurt, "rastishka", medicines are ideal.
