Make a Recycled Soda Bottle iPod Holder
by heather
Dollar Store Crafts reader Michelle was inspired by the Recycled Soda Bottle Coin Purse project to make her own. Then she took it one step further to make an entire soda bottle into a nifty holder for her iPod! Of course, you could use the bottle to hold many things. How handy would a holder like this be to toss into your diaper bag (straight into a bottle pocket!) or oversized purse? This would be a fantastic Earth Day craft for your scout troop, classroom, or other group.
Michelle's tips for making this project:
My only advice is when cutting the bottle, to make sure to leave enough "flat lip" to sew into easily. Also, I found that using a tiny craft punch on the plastic first, made it a whiz to sew together...like those sewing cards we learned on with shoelaces as kids. LOL.
And here's the photo of Michelle's super-adorable coin purse!

Great idea! You can go to yard sales and thrift stores for cheap zippers. You have to do a litle work to rip them out of the clothing. It’s well worth it.
If I don’t have those craft puncher, could I use nail or thumb tacks instead? I haven’t tried it at home. Thank you…
Sure you could…just takes a little longer with a thumb tack. :-)
omG.. its awesome..! i love it..! :D :D Thanks..! x
1 I doubt the iPod touch would fit in that.
2 EWWW!!!
Thanks for the idea! This was a great project my daughter did for school! She had to “recycle” something from home that would normally be thrown away. This was a great project that she can actually use after turning in for a grade! Thanks for sharing!
