Bleach bottles

Posted by Mary Welling-Bonney May 31, 2007

As a child I remember making birdhouses out of empty bleach bottles. I have seen people use them for scoops. What do you do with them?

As a crafter and artist I often find myself contemplating over something the rest of the world would probably see in the realm of inane. Have you ever looked at an object and wondered at all of the uses other people have come up with to repurpose the item?

Most of us have use the liquid dish detergent bottles and bleach bottles by cutting them, painting them, riveting them, drilling them, etc. There seems to be so many possibilities. If you look at the shape of the bleach bottle and the concept that it already has a sturdy handle build in, that allows the imagination to flow. But if you consider that it is easily cut and can be reworked into a whole new purpose, the possibilities are limitless.

I am challenging you to come up with the best idea for using an empty bleach or dish soap bottle. Even if it is not a new idea but one you have used for years.

Write me and let me know your ideas. You can add a photo if you would like but it is not necessary. Simply describe what the bottle was used for. In the beginning of July I will share with you some of the most creative uses.
