Wait! Before you recycle that plastic water bottle, here are some adult DIY repurposing ideas. —Vita Daily

Bird Feeder: Cut off the bottom of a plastic water bottle and fill the bottle with birdseed. Attach a wooden spoon to the side of the bottle with string or twine, and hang it from a tree or bird feeder pole. The spoon will serve as a perch for the birds to land on while they eat.

Jewelry Organizer: Cut a plastic water bottle in half horizontally, and use the bottom half as a jewelry organizer. You can use the top half as a lid to keep your jewelry dust-free. You can also decorate the outside of the bottle with paint, stickers, or washi tape to add a personal touch.

Plant Watering Globe: Fill a plastic water bottle with water and insert the open end of the bottle into the soil of a potted plant. The bottle will slowly release water into the soil, keeping your plants hydrated without over-watering.

Travel Toiletry Container: Cut off the top of a plastic water bottle, and use the bottom half as a travel toiletry container. You can fill the container with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or lotion, and use the cap to keep everything secure.

Phone Amplifier: Cut a slit into the side of a plastic water bottle, and place your phone inside the bottle with the speaker facing the slit. The bottle will amplify the sound of your phone, making it easier to hear music or take phone calls.
