Bottles of juice, alcoholic beverages, ketchup, baby food and similar foods often end up in trash cans or even in places where they don't belong.

If you want to make your home interesting and original, don't throw away the bottles, but use them as decoration.

Here are some fantastic ideas on how to use empty bottles that would otherwise probably be thrown in the trash. Instead of waste, they can become a decoration of your home or garden.

1. A bottle as a vase for flowers

The easiest way to use any bottle is to turn it into a flower vase. Wash and soak it well, remove the stickers.

If the bottle has a wide neck, put a bouquet in it, if it has a narrow neck, such as a wine bottle, you can put one flower in it. You can combine several bottles of different shapes and sizes and turn them into a rich table decoration.

2. A bottle like a cup or mug

Wide-necked bottles, such as those for milk or tomato sauce, can be turned into glasses. This decoration is ideal for celebrations and children's birthdays.

Wash and remove the labels, pour juice into them and place colored straws. You can also decorate the glasses with a bow or decorative ribbon tied around the neck, which can look very elegant and interesting.

Larger bottles can also be used as juice jugs.

3. A bottle as a bathroom decoration

If you fill them with beads, artificial flowers or colored stones, the bottles will become an elegant detail on the bathroom cabinet or window.


But if you fill them with scented or bath salts, shampoo or hand soap, the ordinary bottle will become a useful detail in the bathroom in addition to decorations.

4. A bottle as a candlestick

Wash the bottle and fill it with sand or pebbles, decorate it with ribbons or paper decorations and place a candle in it. Do this with a few bottles and arrange them together on a cabinet or table and you get an original decorative candle holder.

You can also paint the bottles with wall or glass paint and draw different patterns on it or stick or write anything.
