Stop throwing out old plastic water bottles. Here’s 10 brilliant hacks to use them around the house

Need a funnel but don’t have one on hand? Cut the top off a plastic bottle and use it as a makeshift funnel for transferring liquids or dry goods. The narrow neck of the bottle makes it perfect for pouring into smaller containers without spilling. This hack is especially useful for cooking, baking, or filling spice jars.

Water your garden efficiently by creating a drip irrigation system from plastic bottles. Poke small holes in the sides of a bottle, bury it near the roots of your plants, and fill it with water. The water will slowly seep out, providing a consistent moisture level to the soil. This method conserves water and ensures your plants are hydrated without overwatering.
