What to do With Your Old Glass Bottles

Notwithstanding recycling, there are several functional and innovative purposes for used glass bottles.

For example, you can turn a bottle on its side, place a bit of dirt within, and you will have a miniature terrarium by planting a few seeds. Or, slender bottles can make for visually stunning candle holders. If you have a good amount of ambient light in a home, why not place a row of coloured bottles in front of a window to create a truly stunning visual effect?

For those with an even greater sense of creativity, placing a string of Christmas lights within a bottle will make a stunning addition to any room. Planted upside down, bottles are also a unique way to create a border around a garden or footpath. Larger bottles can even make a very real aquarium that is perfect for smaller fish. In fact, a used bottle with even dimensions is a functional alternative to a traditional rolling pin.

So now you have no excuse to chuck your glass bottles out to landfill.
