Recycling Bottles to make Winter Hangings

by Rohan Kapur | 17-01-2015 18:13







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.



So, it is imperative that we look for ways to recycle them and find out techniques to prolong their lives as much as we can. I made the best use of my weekend by recycling used plastic bottles and converted them into beautiful hanging stationery holders using the French Technique of Crochet (Knitting wool using a crochet hook) and decorated them to make them the best out of sheer waste.



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.
