Kombucha Tea: Bottle love

---

One day a colleague asked me to pick a bottle of the "wonder tea" for her as I went to pick my lunch. Even before I tried the tea, I had my eyes on the bottle, simple, elegant and NOT at all "use and throw" worthy!!

1. Kombucha wonder tea bottle: Using a wine cork, I think this is ready for rustic kitchen counter top storage (EVOO) or the bathroom (bath oil, salts)

2. Added rubber bands of different widths to my favorite bottle to make an elegant vase.

3. Added coffee stirrers under the rubber bands to make an ear-ring organizer, the possibilities are endless...

Tip: the sticker does leave behind some nasty glue but olive oil works great to get it off.

i tin CAN - and so CAN you

So what can you do with the tin cans? Apparently lots of things!

My favorite is to simply use them a pen stand or a flower vase. Simply peeling off the paper label reveals a shiny interior, with undulating rings. Hooray for the industrial look! Or I say - the stainless steel look for less!

Other uses?

>>Seed planting (don't forget to make a drain hole at the bottom). Wont it be super cute to plant tomatoes in a tomato can?

>>Cookie cutter

>>more handy ones at apartment therapy

Guess What? I am not the only one thinking about packaging, which has no where to go but the dustbin (usually). Checkout a company called Braswell. They bottle their yummy goodness in jars that can be reused as drinkware! Their secret? - The jars don't have the usual ring on top for a screw type lid! So simple and so effective. I Just started my collection!
