Save Money: Make Recycled Crafts with Plastic Bottles and Caps

July 2, 2013 by FaveCrafts

Ahh, refreshing. There’s nothing better than drinking a cool bottle of water on a hot summer day. It immediately quenches your thirst so you can get back to all sorts of fun activities. Whether you’re playing a sport, relaxing on the beach, or having a picnic in the park, plastic bottles are an essential. They’re easy to carry around, but during the summer you may find that you have oodles left over and no idea what to do with them. Instead of throwing those bottles away, use them to create recycled crafts from FaveCrafts. Plastic bottle crafts can save you some serious dough and time. You’ll have plenty of time to spend outside, soaking up the summer sun.

The Soda Bottle Chandelier is a great home decor craft that will light up any room you put it in. Plastic water bottles are great because the plastic can be used for one craft while the cap can be used for another.
