Lady crochets waterproof white cord around empty prescription pill bottles. I can't believe how elegant this looks

Crocheting is a versatile and creative craft that allows individuals to transform simple materials into functional and decorative items. This DIY project focuses on recycling empty prescription pill bottles by wrapping them with a waterproof white cord through crocheting to create elegant floating candle holders. These holders can be used to add a touch of sophistication to any setting, offering a unique solution to upcycling plastic waste while enhancing ambiance with their stylish design.

These crocheted floating candle holders can be used to create a serene and elegant atmosphere in bathrooms, patios, or living spaces. Arrange them in clusters on a water feature or place them individually in a bathtub for a relaxing spa-like experience. The white cord crochet gives them a clean, minimalist look that complements modern or rustic decor. Use them with small LED tealights for safety and to maintain their waterproof quality.

Waterproof white cord, 3mm thickness

Start by making a slip knot and placing it onto your crochet hook.

Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1: Chain 1, work 8 single crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.

Round 2: Chain 1, work 2 single crochets in each stitch around (16 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.

Round 3: Chain 1, *single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch* repeat from * to * around (24 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.

Continue increasing in this manner until the base circle matches the bottom diameter of your pill bottle.

Next, work single crochet stitches in each stitch around without increasing, creating a cylindrical shape that will fit snugly around the bottle.

Continue crocheting until the cover reaches the top edge of the bottle.

Finish off with a slip stitch, cut the cord leaving a tail, and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.

Place the crocheted cover over the bottle, ensuring it fits snugly.

For a floating candle holder effect, place a small LED tealight inside the covered bottle.

For a different look, consider using waterproof cords in other colors, such as navy blue or soft pastels, to match different decor themes. You can also experiment with using thicker or thinner cords for varied textures. For a more intricate design, incorporate decorative stitches like shells or bobbles. Adjust the size of the crochet cover by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches and rounds to fit different bottle sizes.
