From CraftStew:
Woven Plastic Bottle Vase – This is the project that gave me the idea for this list. I had to read the how-to’s before I believed this vase was really made from a plastic bottle.
PopSci Plastic Bottle Lamps – Complete instructions from PopSci.
Terrariums – Use a plastic bottle to make an almost instant terrarium. More ideas here and here.
Knitting Loom From Plastic Bottles - I was going to purchase a knitting loom, but when I saw this tutorial, I decided to make my own instead.
Plastic Bottle And Paper Vases - Cut a plastic bottle down to size and glue on fabric. This can also be used as a pencil cup.
Winter Star Garlands - At first glance, it’s hard to believe that this holiday project is made from plastic drink bottles.
Soda Bottle Dome Displays – The instructions call for a soda bottle, but I think a water bottle would look even nicer in this project.
Plastic Bottle Beads - I’ve come across loads of tutorials for plastic bottle beads, but this tutorial from Zakka Life is by far the nicest.
Fish From Plastic Bottles - Cut shapes from plastic and paint to resemble fish. Use the bottom of the bottle as a display stand.
Herb Gardens - Plastic bottles are the perfect size for individual herb gardens.
Plastic Bottle Weaving Looms - Don’t own a weaving loom? Use a plastic bottle instead.
Knit or Crochet Plastic Bottle Bangles – A ring is cut from a plastic bottle and then wrapped with a knit or crocheted cover.
Woven Boxes – Ribbons of plastic bottles strips are woven back and forth to create a square box.
DIY Shrinky Dinks - I was thrilled to find these tutorials, since it’s very hard to find plain Shrinky Dink plastic near where I live.
Fabric And Plastic Bottle Bracelets - Another bracelet. This one is covered with felt, but really, any fabric would work out great.
Plastic Bottle Coin Purses - Unfortunately, this project doesn’t come with instructions.
Plastic Bottle Change Holders - I wouldn’t use this change holder in the living room, but it’s fine for a workroom or garage.
Plastic Bottle Flowers – These flowers are a cinch to make. But, it’s amazing to see what was done with them when they were finished!
Monster Container - I tried to avoid included crafts for kids, but this little container is too adorable to miss.
Plastic Bottle Butterflies – Once these butterflies are completed there are dozens of things to do with them…use them to decorate gift packages, attach them to a wall in a child’s room to add interest, place them strategically throughout your garden, and lots more.
