IF you had a boozy bank holiday weekend, you might have a few empty bottles lying around.
Before you ditch them, try these great upcycling tricks to turn them into something new.
LIGHT WORK: Clean out wine bottles and remove labels by soaking them in warm, soapy water.
Fill with battery-powered fairy lights, £3 at Poundland, for an instant glow and garden ambiance.
FLOWER POWER: Turn gin bottles into sleek vases by soaking off labels and painting with a light-coloured beige or cream matte paint using tester pots, from £1.50 at B&Q.
It will give your vase an on-trend ceramic look. Wrap twine around the neck for rustic charm. It will be perfect for displaying garden cuttings or supermarket blooms.
CLEAN UP: Ditch ugly detergent bottles by decanting them into a pretty empty bottle.
Gin bottles especially are a great swap for holding your washing-up liquid instead of the unsightly plastic bottles.
You can even buy a budget pourer or pump to place on top of your bottle for £2.50 at amazon.co.uk.
MINI SAVER: When thoroughly washed, use slim half-sized vodka bottles as toothbrush holders or a place to hold your cotton wool in the bathroom.
If you are crafty, these smaller bottles also are great to stash away for birthdays and Christmas gifts, just add homemade bath salts for a thoughtful budget present.
BEER WE GO: Carefully cut the tops off clean beer bottles with a £5 glass cutter from Homebase or Screwfix — it is a lot easier to do this than you would think.
Then use them as mini tumblers, or mini plant pots to grow your own herbs, taken from sprigs of supermarket bunches. Try growing basil or mint and place on a sunny windowsill.
