Instructions are given below that how to reuse empty water bottels....

    Make plastic wire
This wire can be used to make stems for fake flowers, as well as bracelets and other jewelry.

<1>Cut a soda bottle into a spiral. The width of the strip in the picture is about 4 mm.

<2>Sit and hold a hair dryer (or a heat gun) between both knees. Heat the plastic strip and wind it around while pulling it with both hands. (Polyethylene terephthalate [PETE] plastic becomes soft by 70 ℃.)
