Vases

Cut off the top third of the bottle to make a vase. Decorate the bottle with paints, studs and other embellishments or leave it clear for sunlight to pour through. If you plan on using real plants, place the vase in a sunny location and add water regularly.

Bottle Terrarium

A terrarium is a container that holds small plants and animals under controlled conditions. The terrarium can be used to duplicate a plant's natural living environment. Fill a base with potting soil, plant your seeds and plants in the soil and water until moist. Cut the end of a 2-liter soda bottle close to the neck, discarding the neck portion. The cut soda bottle will function as the clear dome that will protect your plants and allow sunlight in. Your cut will vary according to the base size. The base and dome should fit snugly together. Place your terrarium in a sunny location and water on a regular basis.

Change Banks

Remove the brand label from a 2-liter soda bottle and cut a quarter-sized slit near the neck of the bottle to create a makeshift change bank. Paint the outside for a more personalized look or for privacy. You will have to cut the bank open if you want to access the change. The bottle is easily transportable, and makes a great gift.
