Plastic Creatures
I presented several things already about what to do with plastic bottles, but I’ve never seen such a shy plastic creature before.
I find them cuuute! :))

Create a Travel Journal
When I traveled I mostly wrote a kind of diary and afterwards I often made a photo album. I’ve never had the idea of creating a real travel journal.
Next time I really want to give it a try – in the same way that is shown here.
And if it won’t happen for any reason: you can certainly create a travel journal of a fictitious travel, too (best wishes to all those who think that I’m talking about them ;-))).

Recycled Magazine Coasters
Well, such a coaster from old magazines is surely heat-proof.
And certainly not difficult to make, you actually only need folded paper strips of equal width.
And if you don’t have enough paper simply make some jewelry ;-))

Pumpkin Photo Holder
Ok, it’s not pumpkin time yet, but you can’t begin too soon to prepare ;-)
Besides it doesn’t have to be a pumpkin photo holder, you can make this without a doubt with a water melon, too ;-))

Six Pincushions At Once
Do you need six pincushions at once for some reason (e.g. to sort your pins by colour)?
Then simply reconstruct an egg carton.

Slippers from Old Textiles
I think that I must fish out my sewing machine after all – and sew some slippers from old, kitschy dishcloths ;-)

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps
I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

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