Make a Recycled Soda Bottle iPod Holder

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!

iPod Holder Project Estimate:

Recycled soda bottle, on hand
Zipper, $1 or on hand
Craft punch, on hand
Needle & thread, on hand

Total cost: FREE to $1

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…

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
