20 creative recycling ideas to create fantastic objects and useful decorations for the home and garden. The colorful proposals to embellish using only your own imagination.
Tired of always carrying bags full of empty glass bottles, knowing full well that they will be recycled anyway, avoiding the waste of a material whose common use is well known.
The glass it’s a natural material and whose view is always pleasant and flashy: a table for the living room always makes a good impression as well as a mirror in the bedroom, softened by the golden frame, will be the attraction of the sleeping area.
But the time has also come for glass to put an end to its life, as happens for the bottles that peek out on our tables. Why not indulge in some leisurely activities do-it-yourself to create pleasant, useful or even extravagant objects who will be able to beautify our house or garden?

Here are a few fantastic proposals.
Vases
The first idea that can come to our mind is to reuse the bottles to make them vases for flowers home. Colorful centerpiece, with a colored flower to change as soon as it has faded.
Bird feeder
The bird feeder is nice and alternative. As soon as it is emptied of the hungry animals, filling it will be a very simple thing.

The spherical shape benefits practicality; if for once, instead of throwing away the jar of jams, we made it into a pen holder to decorate at will?
Lamp
The lamp you don’t expect, for a special and truly transparent light.
Garden decoration
Do you want design advice on how to furnish? Join the group
A particular tree, reusing colored glass bottles: by inserting the neck in iron or copper wires, you will have created a rare decorative shape.
Storage compartment
In recent years it is becoming an art to melt glass bottles. Turn them into trays, food holder od wall clocks, you just have to make your head spin for the numerous proposals.
Shelf
An extra wardrobe, even in sight, can always be used at home. To glue the wooden planks, get help so as not to ruin your project.
Fun items
Have fun with brushes, paints, ropes and other material to make nice colorful objects to display or to use at children’s parties.
Dispenser
Just retrieve the dispenser from an old jar and here, voila, your dispenser, suitable for many domestic environments.
Chandelier
Exotic chandelier, this proposal made with colored bottles. The advantage of the transparency of the glass will give surprising effects.
Christmas decorations
Covered with soft and pleasant to the touch fabric, pretty Christmas themed decorations, to leave for the whole holiday period.
Table
Proposed by the industrial style, this table with wooden base and glass support.
Bells
Adorn the garden with this special xylophone: the metal string will make a nice melody when shaken.
And if we have the patience to collect glass for years, even letting our friends help us, here’s how to get to create a boundary wall, including a balcony, it can be a truly amazing architectural work.
