Recycling Bottles to make Winter Hangings |
|---|

Nowadays, everyone is seen carrying small plastic water bottles around with them as they are easy to dispose of and provide easily for a quick drink. However, the hike in the purchase of these bottles is also resulting in the deterioration of the environment as they can take up to 450 years to decompose. As the winters are withdrawing, people have a lot of wool leftover. This remaining wool can be used in this technique to combine innovation, creativity and style. All you need is a crochet hook, bottom half of old plastic bottles, wool, punching machine and a little bit of skill! Through recycling like this, you can also learn a new technique from your mother or grand mom. I would encourage all readers to recycle their bottles and surplus wool in this manner to create these stationery hangings and transform waste into artful holders. |

@ Mohit, Thanks. Yes, in UAE the use of plastic bottles is too much. We all must recycle them as much as possible.

Wow, what a sophisticated boy you are :) I couldn't imagine that you like knitting.
You did an excellent work. I would be really happy if somebody make one and give it to me.
(Because I am not really good at handcraft works hahaha)
I envy your hand skill. Good job, Rohan!

The idea is nice,
Use a bottle twice,
The upper part can be used as funnel
To fill water, oil or fuel,
