DIY Recycle Vase

I promise u guys I will update a new post on DIY stuff and here I am, keeping the promise!

I made a recycle vase just minutes ago and I will share the experience with you right now. The ingredients needed are common household waste, plastic pet bottles. 


Big or small, size doesn't matter. And the tools required including candle, and scissors. Easy right?

First, find a ventilated place to conduct the project as inhaling the gas produced by the pet bottle while being heated is extremely unhealthy. 


Cut the top of the bottle out. You can use the top for other purposes as what I need here is only the body and bottom of the bottle. 


Light the candle and start the heating process. Be careful not to let the bottle in contact with the fire as that will make the bottle burnt in black colour. You will see the bottle slowly shrink in irregular shape as it approaches the fire. You can create a bubbly surface by heating it a little bit longer. However, please be careful not to heat a certain area for too long as that will create a hole. 


That is the finished product of mine. I splash a bit of the candle wax on top to create an artistic design. 


Put the water inside and here you have an elegant and sophisticated looking vase. You can also paint some colour on the bottle to create your own design. 

Howp you guys like it :)
