Drinking Straws Flowers

Well, the flowers look real, too, don’t they?
They are from plastic, too, but this time from drinking straws – just as the bird, the ring and the plastic straw lantern.
Very multifunctional, such a drinking straw ;-)

The flower on the photo should be the Dahlia (I’m a city kid and don’t know about these things ;-)).

Plastic Bag Flowers

At first glance I thought that the flowers on the picture were real ;-)

Plastic Bag Beads

Links of entry

I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

DIY Charge Station

Links of entry

In fact it is more a self-made holder to load small devices, but I find the idea great however.
My shampoo bottle is anyway nearly empty…
;-))

Note: It seems that this construction is not secure because it says in the entry that the original entry was removed due to security concerns.

Paper and Plastic Bottle Baskets

Links of entry

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 ;-)

Crocheted Plastic Wind Chime

Links of entry

I wrote a couple of entries already that should help to prettify a garden (although I don’t have any ;-)) (see links below).
And I have several entries for making stuff from plastic bags, mostly bags.
So I like the idea of taking yarn from plastic bags and making plastic bag garden decorations quasi twice as much ;-))

The automatic translation isn’t very convincing but I think that it doesn’t matter: simply crochet items from plastic yarn, connect them and hang them in the garden as wind chimes.

Plastic Bottle Chandelier

Links of entry

If you have eaten already the flowery pudding from the bottom of a plastic bottle, you can still make a chandelier from the ‘pudding mould’ ;-))

And if you don’t like it, simply make another lampshade ;-)

Flowery Pudding

Links of entry

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.”
