I am always looking for ways to reuse things instead of recycling. This is the time of year to bring in plants that will, hopefully, thrive indoors this winter. But I don't have enough saucers or trays to put under my pots. Here is my solution for a small pot. Cut the bottom off a large soda bottle.
Here is my pot on the window sill. See the Pepsi bottom under it? This way the water will not leak onto the sill. I'm sure all of you have good ideas to share!I believe in Recycling! Check in at the Hooked on Houses Party and see what everyone else likes!

Good tip!!! Much better than spending money on the plastic liners. Stopping by from Julia's party. :)
Grat tip! I have been using the bottom of my milk jugs, but I think the clear plastic of the soda bottle is more attractive.
Great use for something that would have just been tossed out. I bet it does hold the water well too. I just reused some old spaghetti sauce jars and turned them into Halloween lanterns. Come by and check it out if you get a chance.
Great idea! Sometimes it's just the littlest things, isn't it? Have a good day...

Great idea! You can't even tell that's what it is. You're so green. LOL! Lisa~ www.livingmybestlifeii-lisa.blogspot.com
we do this and you can keep the other end to use as a funnel
thats a clever idea! I don't do indoor plants though because sadly, they always die.
Very good; reuse is better than recycle after all! The clear plastic is nice and unobtrusive, too.
Hi
Just popped by via Julia's Hooked on party.
Great idea here.. and unfortunate they don't pick up your recycling, but perhaps fortunate that you are so inventive!
When I arrange flowers in antique containers I use cut off soda bottles for a protective insert. I'm visiting from Julia's party.
This is a great idea! I'm hosting a giveaway at my blog of genuine Cross Bottles valued at $175. It ends Monday, so hurry over. I think you'll love them!
Very clever!

Great ideal, thanks for the tip.

Use the top of the soda bottle for a funnel.
Use the top of a plastic milk jug with handle to scoop bird seed. Hold your finger over the top opening, put the "scoop" over the top of your bird feeder, and release to get the seeds into the feeder without spilling.
