A you a recycle addict then check out these great projects you can make with empty laundry detergent bottles from a beach bucket scoop, to garden lights,watering can and even a Christmas and Easter craft. I did not realize what great things you can make with them. So creative. So what did you make?

I honestly didn't think there was anything in the world that would ease my hatred of doing laundry, but I think I found it! These crafts are so unexpected and fun, and some of them are really beautiful, too. My favorite is definitely the Recycled Laundry Scoop Christmas Scene, it is so cute and clever. I will be making one this holiday season!
