Accessories
https://www.tiktok.com/@rum.87_happy/video/7117239498588556546Why not try making chic accessories out of plastic bottles? Cut out the flat parts of the bottle and trim them to your preferred size.
Gently heat them to deform the pieces, then make a hole and attach accessory findings.
You can use colored bottles, or use clear ones and add color with nail polish; gluing on sequins or beads will also make them look glamorous.
Since this craft involves using heat, please be very careful to avoid injury while working!
suncatcher
Let’s try making a suncatcher by hand.
Cut your favorite decorative sheet, a milk carton, and a plastic bottle.
Thread beads onto fishing line (nylon thread) as you like, assemble it, and you’re done! Finish it off by decorating it cutely with the decorative sheet.
Placed by a window, the suncatcher sparkles and gently sways in the light—it’s so soothing to watch.
Mixing different bead sizes and threading them onto the fishing line would also look adorable.
Be sure to create your own original suncatcher!
Rose
You can make a beautiful rose out of a plastic bottle! Cut petal shapes with scissors, then lightly heat the tips over a candle to make them look more like real petals.
Create four different sizes of petals and stack them with hot glue to complete the rose! You can also use glue or adhesive, but a hot glue gun is the easiest.
For an even more realistic look, cut leaf shapes from a green plastic bottle and attach them to the back of the rose.
Even if you don’t have a bottle in your target color, you can color a clear plastic bottle with pastels, so give it a try and create your own lovely, original rose.

Sparkly Piggy Bank
Let me introduce a sparkly piggy bank that kids love.
Cut a plastic bottle to the height you want for your piggy bank, then cut a bottom lid out of cardboard and reinforce the lid with colored construction paper and vinyl tape.
Next, cut a slit with a utility knife where the money will go in, decorate it freely with beads and other items, and you’re done! Be careful when using the utility knife.
Using cute patterned masking tape or stickers might make it even nicer.
Give it a try!
cosmetic box
Let me introduce a small cosmetics box made from plastic bottles.
Cut off the bottoms of the bottles and round the cut edges with an iron.
Prepare two of the same pieces.
Attach a zipper (available at 100-yen shops) to the top and bottom of the two pieces to join them together.
That’s basically it—then add your own design and decorate it to make it cute.
You’ll have a one-of-a-kind, adorable cosmetics bag! It can be used for various purposes, such as storing small items or accessories.
Be careful not to burn yourself when using the iron.
snowman
These snowman ornaments made from plastic bottles are perfect as Christmas decor or gifts.
We use Calpis Water bottles, making the most of the white contents while adding decorations like a hat, ribbon, and facial features.
Although we chose this drink to take advantage of its white color, using an empty bottle will let you enjoy it longer as interior decor.
If you make it with an empty bottle, we recommend using a rounder-shaped bottle to emphasize the snowman look.
Tree
Only 4 materials! Let’s make a cute tree using an LED strip, a plastic bottle, a toilet paper roll, and sparkly decorations.
Make a hole in the bottom of the plastic bottle and put the LED strip and the sparkly decorations inside.
Insert the toilet paper roll so that the LED strip passes through the inside of the roll.
Once you glue the roll in place with a hot glue gun, turn on the lights and you’re done! It’s simple, but you’ll have a warm, glittering tree! It’s also lovely to turn off the room lights and switch on the tree.
