Make Use Of Empty Laundry Detergent Bottles With These Smart Upcycles
By SARAH COGGAN
Bird Feeder
With a utility knife, carve a rectangle large enough for a bird’s head midway up the bottle. Fill the bottom with birdseed, screw the cap on, and wait for the birds.
Paint Can
Pour your extra paint into a clean and empty detergent bottle instead of a paint can. Not only will it be protected from drying out, but it'll also make it easier to pour.
Litter Scoop
Craft a sifting cat litter scoop from the handle of the bottle with just a drill, a 5/64 drillbit, a marker, and scissors. Use the marker to map out where you will cut.
Watering Can
Thoroughly clean your bottle, then use a 5/32 drill bit to make holes in the cap. Fill the bottle with water, screw on the cap, and enjoy using your new watering can.
Bag Dispenser
Storing your plastic bags inside a container keeps them easily organized for reuse. You can turn your laundry bottle into a bag container in just a few simple steps.
Use a utility knife to cut a ring just above the bottle cap. Then, cut off the bottom of the bottle, place the bags inside, and pull them out through the smaller hole in the top.
