Recycling plastic bottles is not only a great way to reduce waste, but it can also be a source of creativity and utility in the home.
Today we show you a brilliant idea to transform a simple water bottle into a practical organizer in just 3 minutes.
Follow these simple steps and you will have a perfect place to store screws, dowels and other small objects.
Materials and tools needed
- Empty water bottle
- Plastic caps
- Cutter
- Flanges
- Hot Drill or Nail
- Lighter (if using hot cloves)
Procedure
- Clean and dry the water bottle thoroughly.
- Cut a square into the top of the bottle using the cutter. This square should be large enough to allow access to the objects you’re going to store.
- Prepare the lids: Take the plastic lids and make a hole in the center of each one. You can use a drill to make the holes precisely, or heat a nail with the lighter and drill carefully.
- Insert the zip ties: Thread a cable tie through the hole in each cap so that there is a loop at the top. This loop will work as a hook for hanging the bottles.
- Attach the caps: Screw the caps back onto the bottles, making sure the zip ties are securely attached and ready to hang.
- Organize your things: Use the bottles with their new hooked lids to hang in your workshop, garage or DIY area. You can store screws, dowels, nails, and other small items, keeping them organized and within easy reach.
This simple trick not only helps you recycle plastic bottles, but also provides you with a practical and economical solution to keep your workspace tidy. In just 3 minutes, you can turn a water bottle into a useful and efficient organizer.
