Whether plastic, glass, or aluminum, empty bottles can be used in so many ways. Sure you could use them as is, but with a little bit of imagination and a little bit of manipulation, you can make them into something special.

1. Cheese Tray
A wine bottle melted down in a kiln makes an attractive glass serving tray for cheese.

2. Nalgene Yarn Holder
Repurpose an old Nalgene drinking bottle into a handy storage container that will keep your yarn clean, tangle free, and ready for your next knitting or crochet project.

3. Aluminum Incense Burner
So simple! Make a small hole in the side of an aluminum bottle, and you've got a unique incense burner.

4. Wall Art
This unique piece was made from a six pack of glass bottles. Hang it in front of a window to let the light shine through.

5. Sequins
Add some sparkle to your life with these sequins you make yourself! All you need is a plastic PET bottle and a hole punch.
