High Quality Cups from Recycled Water Bottles

Step 5 Your done!!

Wasn't that easy?

No cost, minimal labour and a new set of fancy up-cycled bottle drinking cups.
What more could you ask for?

I don't know about you, but i am going to go have an ice cold beverage in my new cups.

This is great. I will use them for camping.

would you plan to wash these by hand or in the dishwasher? are you concerned about the plastic leaching chemicals into your drink as it degrades? Could you coat the inside or the lip with something sturdier?

if you put it in the dishwasher, it will shrink/melt. HANDWASH ONLY!

I would hand wash them because it may release harmful chemicals such as bpa that might increase your chance of cancer. When you put it in the dishwasher, it will heat up the water alot which will make it more likely to release said chemicals into any drink you put in the cup. Hope this helps.

BPA is not a concern with this type of bottle. Only polycarbonate bottles have that problem. The dishwasher may partially melt them, as dodo91 pointed out.

Yes definatley.

By hand. No I will through them out after some use. The lip is solid and rigid.

I would think an old frying pan that you're not going to use for food cooking would be best. Or does it not matter? Just wondering if any of the plastic melts on to the pan. Actually, I have an old cookie sheet that I don't use for food anymore, and that should work just as well.

Even a teflon plate will get "marked". An old one is most suitable.

I tried this the other night and it works great! Thanks!

Care to share some photos? ;)

most of the plastic bottles i have ever used were pretty flimsy. is yours sturdy enough to hold in your hand without it crushing?

[Lftndbt]

Turning the lip gives alot of rigidity.
