Eco-friendly curtains and lamp.


This eco-friendly curtains is made with the bottom of plastic bottles, the resulting pattern is great. This is the work of UK designer Michele Brand.
When you look closely at the pattern, you see that she uses clothing tag attachers to link the flower pattern together, this way she gets a reliable distance between each flower.


Based on the same principle, Michele brand designs pendant light too:






I realized that it's possible to get an attachment tagging gun for around $20 from Amazon, It makes such project doable now! This is how it looks.

Upcycling a Light bulb


from this blog 


This upcycling ideas will be less and less possible since ordinary light bulbs are being replaced with fluorescent light bulbs. So give it a try before it's impossible!

Upcycled PET plastic

I'm not really into jewelry, but I must admit that what Gülnur Özdağlar can do is really creative and needs some obvious skills. Since 2008, she's making necklace, earrings but also brooches and buttons from plastic bottles. She also makes bowls and home decoration accessories. She's using the original color of the bottle to make these beautiful translucent creations.


Ring, necklace and brooch

Some of her work is available on Etsy and it's really affordable
My favorite bowl

How to make it?

If you want to give it a try, there's a tutorial on Instructables (posted by the artist herself) that will give you all the directions to make a bowl. Have fun!
