Sometimes, the most messed up things in our kitchen are the glass and bottles which also mess up our mind on what should be done on them especially when they have no more lids. When they haven’t lids anymore, there’s no chance for us to use them as safe and clean storages. What can be done on them? Well, amidst the CampBlog in Pampanga, I viewed some videos on recycling and I happened to view a video about recycling our lidless glass jars and bottles.
Making a Flower vase out of Glass Bottles and Jars
We need:
- Oven –cooking range with oven or even the small oven toaster can be used depending on how many crayons you will melt.
- Potholder-
- Old crayons- aside from the glass jars and bottles, these old crayons will also be recycled since it has
- Clean glass jars and bottles-
- Wax paper- make sure that the wax paper is fit enough to the tray
- Tray- if you have no tray for the oven which is fit enough, try your “llanera” or that deep tray when you’re making cassava cake
Procedures:
1.) Prepare all the materials needed.
2.) Preheat oven.
3.) Ready the tray with wax paper. Put the wax paper in the surface of the tray.
4.) Place and spread the old crayons in the tray.
5.) Place the tray with crayons inside the pre-heated oven. Wait until the crayons melt.
6.) After the crayons were melted, take the tray out of the oven using the potholder and immediately roll the glass jars and bottles.
7.) Let the glass jars and bottles dry.
8.) Lastly, put some flowers inside it and place it in your center table to add life to your house’s ambience.
C2 BOTTLES ROCK!!
The above picture was IV- Emerald’s Christmas tree last year. Our class made it before our Christmas party. This showed a little bit of concern and resourcefulness because of the recycled C2 solo bottles which we collected in our school canteen. Our Christmas tree had undergone many revisions. In fact, we almost lost hope on its construction until my adviser and some of my classmates decided to ask help on their parents. And so, the result of our tiring and ramshackling revisions is the above picture which actually won as the Best Christmas Tree in Laboratory High School. The skeleton of the Christmas is a big bamboo shoot that supports the hard round host. Likewise, the host also supports and shapes the tree.
While the red C2 solo bottles represent the tree, the yellow C2 solo bottles represent the brightly shining stars. By the way, the red bottles are connected vertically by the use of a nylon string. The center bottom and the upper (the lid) part of the bottle were holed and then the string was inserted first in the bottom hole and after that, in the lid. The yellow bottles were formed into stars by the use of glue sticks.
