Ideas for the garden: recycling glass bottles

The good thing about the new trend of recycling is that many everyday items can be turned into new and useful items and given a new life. Recycling also helps us to protect the environment more and not have to dig deep into our pockets.

Wine bottles as flower pots

An original idea is to use old wine or beer bottles as flower pots. It should be noted that these are not plants that grow a lot or require a large amount of soil.

Ideally, you plant spices for your kitchen in it. Mint, basil, parsley, or coriander are suitable options.

• Place the bottles upside down so that the opening forms a kind of drain. Remove the soil to plant the plants.
• You can also position them horizontally to grow other plants. Great results can be achieved lying down or open on one side.

Define areas

Bottles stacked on top of each other can be used to demarcate or enclose a specific area of ​​your garden. So you create a kind of border fortification out of bottles. The result is quite impressive and is relatively easy to achieve.

You can create a ring where you plant delicate species of plants to keep them from leaking out of the garden or planter.

• Start by half-digging the first row of bottles; then stack the following rows in an organized manner. It is best to glue the individual bottles together so that the structure is retained.
• For this endeavor, you should note that you will need a lot of glass bottles. First, collect them before you start so that you can finish your idea in the end.

A classic of the decoration tips is to use mason jars or glass bottles as lamps or candle holders. Because it is a translucent material, the effect of a candle flame or artificial light is particularly beautiful.

To create a lamp or a candle holder, you first need to drill open the bottles. However, they shouldn’t break in the process, and more importantly, you shouldn’t hurt yourself.

What you need for this:

• bottle
• drilling machine
• Lightbulb
• Bracket and wiring with socket
• Lampshade
• electrical tape

How you do it:

• Clean the bottle both inside and out.
• Decide whether you want to leave the bottle label on or remove it. The label gives you a trendy vintage look.
• Use the drill to drill a hole in the lower area of ​​the bottom of the bottle.
• Route the cable through the hole and use the electrical tape to connect it to the bracket.
• Attach the holder to the top of the bottle, screw in the lightbulb and put on the lampshade.

You can place this lamp in your garden or use it inside your home: you will create a great and particularly original effect with it.

Create terrariums

Terrariums can be designed by yourself with simple manual work and are another nice decoration tip. All you have to do is equip your bottles with rocks, sand, seashells, small plants, or anything else.

In addition to bottles, you can create them from mason jars of various sizes or even goldfish bowls. The terrariums can then be placed both in the garden and inside: they look particularly good on the dining table!

Candlesticks made from wine bottles

Finally, there is also the option of making candlesticks out of wine bottles. This is an inexpensive, easy-to-implement and, above all, original idea. So you give your garden a touch of bohemian.

Melt a candle and let the wax drip into the bottle opening. Once you have enough wax, glue the candle in and let it dry until it sits firmly. Once everything is dry, you will have a new candlestick.
