Introduction: Recycled Glass Bottle Decor
Hi All,
In this instructable, I will share, how to recycle glass bottles and delivery boxes into an awesome decor.
Step 1: What Do We Need?
- A glass bottle
- Corrugated cardboard from delivery boxes
- Table mat
- Wooden Skewers
- Jute string
- Granular stones ( 1 to 2 mm )
- Green color paper
- PVA Glue / Fevicol
- Paper cutter
Please note: I used a dremel with 50 mm diamond disc to cut the button of the glass
Step 2: Base
- The glass bottle has irregular inner surface, measure inner free space
- Mine was a rectangular shaped bottle, so decided to make rectangular base
- This base is of length and breath that will fit inside the glass bottle without any struggle
- I made it, with 22mm height
- Added a base, much larger than the bottle base
- This base will be trimmed in the finishing steps
Step 3: House
- Draw a simple house and it's roof on a cardboard
- Using Paper cutter, cut them
- Glue the walls together
- To give texture, I added a layer of table mat on each wall separately
- Glue wooden skewers at the joints and the roof lining
- The roof is made of corrugated cardboard, with one of it's layer peeled to give a good textured look
- Glue the roof and paint it
- Leave everything to dry
Step 4: Tree
- I have used an actual tree branch to make the tree
- One needs to trim the branch that fits inside the bottle, with the house and the base
- Paint the branch with brown acrylic paint
- Cut leaves from green paper
- Gently stick each leaf on the branch to make a small tree
Step 5: Prepare
- Paint the base with brown acrylic paint
- Glue the tree and House in place
- Add a small swing on the tree
- Glue some small granular stone as shown
- Wait for glue to dry
- if you want to add any more details, now is the time
Step 6: Finishing
- Place the bottle on the base and trim any excess cardboard
- Glue the bottle and the base
- Cover the neck and the base with jute string as shown
- And we are done!!!
Now we have a beautiful piece of art
