#RecyclingWithCraft :: Reusing empty bottles as gifts

in #howto6 years ago (edited)

Hi lovely Steemians!

2 weeks ago, I posted a tutorial on how to make little stars, which I later found out it is known as lucky stars, thank you @ivan-g and @gmatthe2 😊.

If you have cute empty bottles that are no longer in use (or any bottle of your choice), you can reuse them to store the lucky stars and make them into gifts. Here's how:

(1) First, clean the bottle inside out.
(2) If the bottle has a glued label, soak the bottle in water for a few hours.
(3) Some labels will peel entirely after soaking in water for a few hours.
(4) To remove stubborn glue, you may use your finger to rub the bottle. The remaining glued pieces should come out quite easily.

(5) Nice, cleaned bottles. To remove any remaining plastic or metal pieces at the neck of the bottle, you can use sharp scissors or blade or pliers.

(6) Gather the little lucky stars. You will need to make enough stars to fill up the bottle.
(7) Place them into the empty bottles.
(8) Cover the bottle with a piece of scrap cloth with nice designs or wrapping paper or tissue paper and tie it with ribbons or jute yarn or any nice string of your choice.

That's a fabulous idea, @marblely. I have had a collection of interesting little bottles and every so often I have to recycle to make way for new ones :D

Thank you @cryptocariad 😊. Aaww.. interesting little bottles are not easy to find and I try to keep them as much as my space allows them :).

These look beautiful @marblely. The cloth top is a lovely finish.

Thank you @gmatthe2 😊. Yah, I think the cloth top adds a soft dramatic touch to the bottles. We can reuse scraps and empty bottles together for the environment :)

Nice.. You always talented to work on all these things. I love it.

Thank you @oliviackl 😊.. You are talented too :)

Cute! Good luck charms.

Nice tutorial, might try doing this sometime :D
