I save these wonderful little plastic bottles from teas and "ice" drinks. I also have my friends and family save these wonderful coffee containers. When moving, I found that four fit inside the other, and the brain started thinking.

I cut the top off plastic soda bottles to use them as funnels. It has been a handy addition in the kitchen for me and the garage for my husband.

I use the bottoms to start plants, organize my numerous small items in my craft room, or hold change at the end of the day.

I recycle plastic bottles by filling them with tap water, freezing, and then using to line plastic grocery bags when I go on a picnic or long car journey. Food and other drinks stay cold and you have extra water for emergencies or to save on buying junk drinks en route.

When I send out cuttings to friends, of plants that propagate easily, I take a 2 liter cola plastic bottle and cut around the top to make a planter. I drill little holes in the bottom for drainage, tear the wrapper off, and decorate it with permanent markers.

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.

Two liter pop bottles are handy for transporting punch or other drinks to a party without worrying about spilling. They can be laid on their side in a refrigerator if there is not room to set them upright.

I also freeze water in them for ice for our camper cooler.

This past summer our hummingbird feeder was attracting more bees than birds. My husband cut the top off a regular sized soda bottle. He put it on the same rod that holds our humming bird feeder and it attracted a lot of bees. Once the bees found their way in they couldn't get out.

There is a product called the ReCapper that I purchased for 99cents from AC Moore. I cut the bottle to the size I want and use the cap to make a storage container out of it

If kids are about, they can use them for bowling pins, the bottles can be empty, or weighted with a little sand or water. Or, cut off the bottom of the bottle, and let the kids use them for sand/water scoops and funnels. Another game is to fill several bottles with different levels of water and blow across the top, or plunk with a pencil to get different sounds.

If slugs are about, remove the bottle lid; cut off the top 1/3 of the bottle, turn that upside down, and put it back into the bottle. Staple at rim to keep together. Put slug bait inside the bottle, lay it on its side in the garden. This keeps the bait away from pets, and makes it hard for slugs to find their way back out.

They can be used in the garden for drip irrigation; fill the bottle with water, poke a pinhole near the bottom, and set next to a plant.

Another garden use is to cut off the bottom of the bottle and set the bottle over small plants as a mini greenhouse. The bottom part that was cut off can be used as a saucer under a plant pot.

You could put water in the bottles and freeze them to take up unused space in your freezer, or to put in coolers for picnics.

Fill with warm water and use for a hot-water bottle to warm your toes. - MC
