How to Make a Recycled Shampoo Bottle Purse and Lots More Creative Upcycling Ideas

December 29, 2016 by Stefanie Girard

Recycled Shampoo Bottle Purse

If you like working with pretty colored plastics recycled tubes and bottles are a great source. Pop on over to the blog Eco Green Love for an amazing collection of recycled plastic container projects – both decorative and functional – including this little purse made from a shampoo tube. I will be saving my containers in the new year to make a bunch of these projects.

Other Upcycling Ideas for Recycled Shampoo Bottles

Making a purse from a shampoo bottle is just the beginning. Here are a few other ideas for what you can do with your empty shampoo bottles:

Storage Containers: Shampoo bottles can easily be transformed into small storage containers for pens, office supplies, or even small plants. You can cut the bottle to your desired size, decorate it, and then use it as a pen holder on your desk or a storage solution for various small items around the house.

Bird Feeder: Shampoo bottles can make an excellent base for a homemade bird feeder. Simply cut a small hole in the side, thread a string through it to hang, and fill the bottle with birdseed. This is a great way to reuse plastic while helping out your local wildlife.

Watering Can: With a few holes poked in the cap, a shampoo bottle can easily be transformed into a makeshift watering can for your garden. Just make sure to wash out the bottle thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains before you start watering your plants.

Planter: Shampoo bottles make great planters, especially for small plants or succulents. You can cut the bottle to create a small pot, add drainage holes in the bottom, and then plant your favorite greenery. These make great additions to windowsills or porches.

 

These are just a few examples of the many ways you can repurpose shampoo bottles. By recycling these bottles in creative ways, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. It’s important to remember that we all have a responsibility to take care of our planet, and by finding new uses for old items, we can help reduce waste and preserve our environment.
