Dad, my teacher asked me to make a small project on best out of waste .would you please suggest me what can I present in school? Can we think of using the plastic in a better way rather than simply throwing in dust bin which additionally create the environmental pollution?The best answer to all these questions is how to use our creativity to make the best use of the plastic waste. You will agree with me , when we go to the supermarket, we generally get puzzled in making our decision which one to buy .Look and feel is one of the deciding parameters helps us in picking the right one. Today my thought process is how we can reuse the empty shampoo bottle which has the pump connected to it. Now it’s a time to recover the cost of the look and feel which we paid to buy it.
Holder is very common and needs at every home either to hold the bunch of keys or hang the napkin towels. Any idea, what am I talking about? Yes, very true, I am talking here to make the holder using the empty shampoo plastic bottle. This holder will serve the purpose as key holder or toothbrush holder or combined to these a napkin holder. This Holder is easy to make and absolutely with no cost, but it will be the unique and special.

This line shall be around all sides of the bottle. This will be our cutting line. For better visibility, make shading in this area .No much preparation is needed other than this. It’s very easy, isn’t it?
2.Let's finish the key holder
Generally, shampoo bottles have flat surfaces on both sides but if the bottle has a flat surface on one side only then please make sure the hanging hole must be on the flat surface. On flat surface mark half circle having a radius of 1 inch. The shaded portion as shown in image to cut
You will see the bottle shape now as shown in the image, however, based on the space and where you are hanging this holder, may vary the size and may give decorative shape. Now take out the tube and fix the cap back to the bottle. Make a hole for hanging this holder on the wall.
