PET Creations

With over 2000 guests at the high point of our summer season, our recycling center becomes very busy and this creates very full bins for many different recyclables. So I decided to do something creative out of the most common trash we have here at KISC, the PET bottle.

Candle Holder
 

The first really cool thing you can do with an empty PET bottle is a very nice table

decoration for your next BBQ. It's easy to do and it brings a holidays seaside feeling to your table.

You need :

• empty PET bottles
• candles
• sand

Just fill the bottles with normal sand or, for a more colourful table, with coloured sand. Add a

nice candle and you have a beautiful decoration.

Bird Feeder

If you want to do something that lasts longer and makes you some new animal friends you should build a bird feeder.

You need :

•  An empty PET bottle
• 2 old pencils
• Some Seeds (you can get them in a Pet Shop)
• A knife

Start with making four holes for the pencils. Insert the pencils. The birds can sit on the pencils later. Add a feeding hole over every pencil. Now fill in the seeds and close the PET bottle. Add a wire or string to hang it in a tree. The last step is to hang your bird feeder out in your garden and see your new friends eating. Enjoy!
