Recycle old plastic bottles instead of throwing them away. Learn how, with this DIY activity.
Recycle old plastic bottles, instead of throwing them away! In the process, create a simple solution to store all the things that lie around your desk.
Here’s how you can make a multi-purpose case using old plastic bottles!
Step 1:
Take a bottle and carefully cut it such that it looks like this. Ensure that you clean it thoroughly with the help of a sponge or cloth (you can draw a reference line using a marker, for easier cutting). This is the larger piece.
Step 2:
Take a similar bottle and cut it in the same manner, making sure its size is smaller than that of the previous one. This is the smaller piece.
Step 3:
Apply glue along the cut edge on the outside of the larger piece.
Step 4:
Take the zip and carefully stick it on the glue and ensure that the zip line is not glued to the bottle. It should look something like this.
Step 5:
Now, carefully apply glue along the cut edge on the outside of the smaller piece.
Step 6:
Carefully stick the smaller piece to the other side of the zip line.
Finally…
Your multipurpose case will look like this!
