Make Jewelry from Plastic Bottle


I am very excited creating so many things using plastic bottle...because i drink a lot of water everyday..a 2 liter water bottle is sometimes only for my one day...so bottles flooded in the trash can...to reduce them i`m doing my best to clean them all by recycling them.. even every little left over of the bottles...

..i was thinking how to recycling small plastic cut bottle....actually its ready for throwing them to garbage....but i figured it out that it can be use again ...so while cutting them into small pieces...and watching my face book...i saw one model wearing a black beaded necklace with mixed color of purple....i was attracted by that color necklace ,which supposed to be the color i will use in my project but i change my necklace color......and banggg..this ideas enter in my head...now convinced me to make a necklace...he he he...

wondering how to do a necklace in a plastic bottle huh? okay let me show you how...


i love this one very much



so  gorgeous..does not look from plastic bottle..

my first attempt..i was not satisfied with the design..


materials i used on making my jewelry are the following...

Of course Plastic bottle ..any plastic you have there..
scissors that can cut a plastic bottle
pliers for making jewelry..
stainless wire.....you can use synthetic thread ...and some materials for making jewelry..
adhesive glue for jewelry
can add pearl or beads if you want..
a color paint or nail polish..
a candle with lighter ...don not forget to use a mask...to avoid the toxic smell ..
  and do this with good ventilation of room..or maybe do it outside the house..

children should not do this..with out adults guidance or assistance...never try to light a fire inside your house..i am worried accident might occur..so be careful not to try this..


i used wire for necklace and use as barbecue stick for shrinking plastic..

synthetic thread

don`t know how to call this..
important to wear a mask..to avoid toxic smell
HOW TO MAKE.....

just cut a small pieces of plastic...size of a bead or size you want ......and gather them in place container ...
cut a wire 2 of your finger size...and ready for plastic burning...wear a mask first open the window....
then give a fire to your candle ..heat the tip point of your wire ..and inject to the cut pieces ..use pliers to avoid accident burnt....continue the process until you collect some beads on the wire..
i collect all bead in this container ..plastic bottle bottom part..
How to make Pendant....just cut a part you like in the bottle..a square shape or the bottom of small soda pop bottle...color them...and cut another small pieces of petal size of flower ..and shrink in heat.....
and next is add strong glue to the petals and place them in the round plastic ..and make a flower form...and thats it..color with nail polish...give them a hole ..by heated wire.....

all you have to do is...insert the beads you made in the necklace size cut wire

ordinary glue or decoupage glue..
some color paint..
some beads ..optional..
some lace..for lay out

How to...
..just make sure .the.shoes are dry and clean ..
fist thing you can do is ...tear some pages of news paper in small pieces...and apply a glue on shoe and rub it with fingers or brush...you cannot brush ordinary glue so i used my fingers.....liquid glue can use brush..
and continue the process until you cover all your shoes..

and you can put flowers or else you want to design your shoes..
