What do most people do with empty plastic bottles of mineral or soda water, wine or juice? Quite right, 97% of them just throw out, another 2% store in them different little things (nails, nuts, pins or buttons).

Vase from a plastic bottle with your own hands: option number 1
We need a whole and clean plastic bottle, on which there are no traces of scuffs or dents. In addition, we need scissors and a marker. We cut the bottle across in place of the constriction leading to the neck. Then it is necessary to divide the bottle into three parts and mark the place of separation by the marker. The upper third of the bottle should be cut along into thin strips of about seven to eight centimeters long and about 0.5 to 0.7 centimeter wide. Then gently turn the bottle over and on the table, spreading the cut strips, gently bend them outward. Imagine an octopus, who was put on the floor, evenly spreading the tentacles around him in a circle. That's about it and it should turn out! Then slowly and carefully wrap one strip and weave it with the next two. The edge of the first strip must be fixed by the base of the second and third. And so on a circle. The last three strips are carefully fixed in a similar way, and a vase made of a plastic bottle is made by our own hands ! This is the ideal solution for a summer house or an office. After all, we are often given flowers, which simply have nowhere to put!
