I would cut out the top of the bottle altogether and discard it. THen I would cut it down the middle and cut around the base so that the base remains intact. Then you can cut away a lot of the extra and just leave a strip to attach to the surface of the table and where your urn rests.

The drips will then go into the base of the bottle.

I thought this was such a neat idea.You can use a bottle to fill with little gifts, or in place of loot bags, or baby shower novelties. You can use a small or a 2 litre, depending on what you're putting into the bottle.

Is it safe to re-use plastic bottles bought originally with soda in them?

My grandson is 7 and I don't want to use them if it is not safe to do so.

Thanking you for reading.

Short and sweet, "No." ;-) The only safe plastics to reuse are 'food grade' recycle # 2, 4 and 5. You will find the number stamped on the bottom of the container; usually it's inside a triangle. This rule of thumb doesn't include just beverage containers but also for reuse of food containers. All the other container #'s, including styrofoam, are made with chemicals that can cause cancer and begin to leach into beverages and food after the first use.

I'll suggest here what I reuse for cold beverages are those powder coffee creamer containers. They are a safe #2, the container label can be removed easily so it's simply white with a colored lid and the lids have a little spout you can open and close to drink from ;-)

Deeli, I love the idea of using the coffeemate container. Never thought of that. You can also put a long straw in that spout.

I have heard that you can do this:
-Cut a hole at the base, so the wrapper is at the top, but don't throw the top away!
-Peel the wrapper off

-Paint the whole bottle white
-stick a flashlight in the bottle, making sure a hole is cut out for the power button
-tape the top back on, making sure the light can shine through, then paint the bottle white except for the cap part
-take the cap off, and cover it with plastic wrap so the light can shine through.
Tada! Hope this works, I found it on a website a while back.
