DIY Ways to Re-Cycle Milk Jugs

Pen-Holder
Simply cut off part of the top, paint the jug, line the edges with fabric, and then you have a perfect organizer for arts & crafts supplies. Fill it with scissors, markers, pencils, anything.

Jewelry 
Cut the jug into flat pieces, and you’ve got a flexible material that durable and stylish. Be as creative as you want! You could make lots of different kinds of earrings, bracelets, rings, or even necklaces.

Lanterns (Halloween Themed)
Just draw some cute or creepy faces on milk jugs using a sharpie, cut a medium sized hole in the back of the jugs, then string lights through the jugs to brighten them up.

Igloo
You’ll need to save up quite a few, but what could be a better project! You’re kids will love to have a reading space all to themselves. And they’ll love it even more if they were able to make it themselves using recycled materials. The project may be a bit tricky, but it’s totally worth it. Good luck!

Flower Pots
With just a few strategic cuts, these milk jugs become a tiny home for seedlings. The handle makes these planters easily hangable. This is a great way to grow herbs in the backyard. You can be recycling and growing healthy foods for your family at the same time!
