I don’t have often bigger plastic bottles but the covering with paper mache must work with shampoo bottles, too?! ;-)

Flower Pot Garden Urn
Flower pots seem to be very versatile: you can not only set plants in or make lamps from, but you can assemble them to a most beautiful, big flower pot garden urn and set plants in then ;-)

Plaster of Paris Bowls
I find these bowls in the shape of a pepper, an apple and the like really cute!
It’s rather unusual ;-)

Paint Brushes Vase
Well, such a I-still-have-lots-of-brushes-from-my-last-painting-experiments-vase doesn’t look bad, does it?
Would it work with thread rests, too? ;-))

Paper and Plastic Bottle Baskets
I have here already a lot of tutorials and inspirations for items from plastic bottles and from recycled paper, but I think that this is the first combining both ;-)
Anyway, I found an inspiration where they make baskets from recycled paper and plastic stripes.
They are made similarly to the basket coiling but with different materials.
I find some of these baskets most beautiful!
If that’s not your cup of tea check here whether you find other baskets that you like ;-)

Flowery Pudding
Again a really good idea: cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle and let set the pudding in there.
And soon you have a flowery pudding :))
But of course you can do muuuch more with plastic bottles ;-)
Addendum: In my German entry somebody commented saying the following (translation by me):
“Plastic bottles emit softening agents, environmental hormones and bisphenol-A from into their content. All not exactly good for your health. The warmer the content the more they emit. So not a good idea!
If you really want to do this let the pudding at least nearly completely cool down.”

That’s a cute vase that you can give away on Valentine’s Day, too, isn’t it?

I really like the paper flowers.

Chocolate Bowl
I already presented this technique, although using wax and the chocolate was only mentioned in a comment.
Now you can really see such a chocolate bowl – looks great, doesn’t it?
