You’ll need one water bottle and a pencil for this easy-breezy bird feeder.
1. Begin by cutting a rectangular “window” into your bird feeder about two-three inches from the bottom of the bottle.
2. Now punch a small hole about a half an inch to an inch below the window. Cut a corresponding hole on the opposite side of the bottle - your pencil will slide through both holes and act as a perch for the birds.
3. Paint it your favorite color.
4. Wrap twine or string around the bottle neck for hanging. Fill with birdseed. Hang up and enjoy bird watching!

All you’ll need is a bottle (and possibly a bit of paint).
1. Begin by cutting the top and half the front off a plastic bottle with a utility knife.
2. Cut a hole the size of the charger plug in the back of the bottle near the top.
3. Paint it any color you want (or leave it as-is).
4. Insert the charger through the hole in the plastic bottle, and plug it into a wall outlet. Put the cell phone in the bottle to keep it out of the way and off the floor.

You’ll need cleaned-up plastic bottles with the labels removed, yarn, and soil.
1. Use scissors or a cutter to cut off the bottom 1/3 of the bottle.
2. Make three equally spaced holes in a circle around the rim of the inverted bottle. String the yarn through the holes and tie to suspend it.
3. Fill with soil or potting material.
4. Plant your herbs (mint, basil, methi, coriander, palak etc.), and hang on the kitchen window or balcony.

You’ll need a colorful zipper and two used same-size beverage bottles.
1. Begin by cutting the tops off the bottles – one at half point, and one 3 inches from the base.
2. Use the two bottoms alone – the longer one as the base and the shorter one as the top.
3. Glue the zippers down to the INSIDE of the bottles, with the zip facing OUTWARD.
4. Once you reach the end, overlap the ends of the zipper fabric onto the other end of the zipper, and glue in place. Your funky new pencil case is ready.

You’ll need an empty plastic bottle, card paper (blue and white), glue and a paper cutter.
1. Paste a white band around the center of the bottle for the body.
2. Cut a slit in the middle of the bottle for the coin slot.
3. Cut out and paste the tail, rudder and wings from the blue card paper and attach them to their respective places.
4. Cut out and attach the propeller, and the circles for windows. Your savings are now ready to take-off.
