Bespoke Water Bottles

I was commissioned by Ben Sumner to take photographs of his water bottles.

Ben has a varied product range, including these high end water bottles. The brief was to shoot detailed images of the bottles for use on his website product page and his social media accounts.

Want to give your water bottle a second life and beautify your garden at the same time? Then turn your old plastic bottle into a bird feeder! Simply cut a hole into the side of your bottle and fill it with seed (as pictured here).

Or, if you want to take things one step further, you can stick two spoons through your bottle and create little feeding posts, just like blogger Manuela Waliczek-Raczka demonstrates here.

With a little bit of creativity, water bottles make the perfect vessels for flowers and bouquets.

5 Christmas Ornaments

Christmas ornaments made out of upcycled water bottles are inexpensive, they look just as good as the store-bought ones, and, when it comes time to store them, they’re much less likely to break than their glass or porcelain counterparts. Truly, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t decorate your tree with DIY plastic ornaments.

6 Spaghetti Holder
Store Spaghetti in a Water Bottle

An empty water bottle makes a great storage container for spaghetti. Or, if you have trouble eyeballing how much spaghetti comprises a serving size, you can also use the bottle to properly measure out a portion. According to Lifehacker, the number of noodles you can fit into the open part of the bottle is just about one serving. Basically, an old water bottle is just full of new uses when it comes to noodles.

7 Shoe Storage
