Even though these vase creations look like glass or fine crystal, they are shatterproof and can still be recycled! See step 1 for making your own recycled bottle vase.
Step
Step 1. Mark and cut a smooth center of the bottle to give it an even edge, about 7.5-8 cm (3") from the top of the fluted circle position
Step 2. Measure and make flat, straight and spaced cuts around the bottle
Cut the segment in half, then cut each segment in half again, making lots of thin, even strips.
Fold and crease so that the ends are where shown in the image by the arrow.
Step 3. Press and fold all the strips outward to make a surface edge around the bottle
Step 4. Press the bottle upside down on a flat surface to make sure the edges are even
Step 5. Weave the ends of the strips over the next strip then under the two after that
Step 6. Fold and knit the next strip in the same way, this time weaving over the next two strips and then under one after that
Step 7. Fold the third strip and weave the same as the first weave
Step 8. Continue in this pattern until the last three strips and tucking each strip under the next until it is fully woven
