Almost every day, we dispose of certain items we think no longer serve a purpose within our homes. These items range from plastic cutleries to bags. However, we have forgotten that these items can pose a danger to the environment if we fail to recycle them. One of the most common victims of these disposal practices is water bottles. Not many of us understand that there is more to just using or drinking the content in water bottles. Beyond what we could understand, they serve better purposes. With a bit of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, we can reuse plastic bottles in multiple functional ways. Here are 45 ways to reuse and recycle water bottles into DIY projects for your home, garden, art project, and more.

Water Bottle Bird Feeder

Those of us that keep birds do so for different reasons. As humans, we eat whenever hunger sets. The same goes for our birds. They can become famished anytime and at any moment. However, they don’t eat from the same plate as us. Instead, we dedicate a new plate to them to feed on.

With disposable water bottles hanging around our homes, we may not need to bring out a dish to feed birds conveniently. We need a plastic water bottle, scissors, a few strings, and most importantly, the seeds to feed our birds. Hang this feeder on a tree branch and watch them feed unaided.
