Fun summer recycled crafts project: Quick, Easy and Fun Candle Stick Holder with recycled soda pop bottle. This DIY project at FineCraftGuild.com is written by contributing author Tammy Henderson from OneMoreTimeEvents.com.
Hi Everyone! Today, I thought it would be fun to share a fun project using a recycled carbonated bottle.
While enjoying the rest of the summer outside, we’ve been having quite a few lovely cold beverages. That ranged from ice tea, lemonade or one of these fun carbonated drinks.
I have to admit I was taken by this drink for it’s shape, size, but what I found more interesting is the marble inside the bottle.
Here is the fun part… opening it.
Peel off the seal, lift off the green cap and push down the center to release the opener.
Place the opener onto the the top of the bottle and press down firmly with your palm.
This will open the bottle by dislodging the (marble) stopper, keep pressing for 5 seconds remove the green opener from the bottle and discard.
How to Make a Recycle Bottle Candleholder
After enjoying the beverage this is where the recycled comes to play:
- Wash and Remove the labeling from the bottle.
- Wrap some jute around the top and bottom portion of your bottle.
- Fill with sand and add a candle to make a unique one of a kind Candle Stick Holder.
How to create a Table Centerpiece with your Recycled Bottle Candleholder
Tada. May this picture speak for itself! It builds upon the various vignette layering techniques explained in prior articles. See below.
Here I used the recycled bottle candle holder in a summer nautical Tablescape that I shared over at my blog One More Time Events. But you could also use and decorate it in any theme you desire like maybe for a Christmas Candlestick wrapping it with some silver or gold twine and filling it with some Epson Salt to look like snow.
