Unique Bottle Houses for the Environmentalist Home-Makers
It’s not every day you see a bottle house and one that is made with such great details too! Here Are 10 Structures Made From Bottles. Let’s see which one will impress you more!
Used bottles can be used for a lot of things including building a house.
We are not kidding of course.
If you collect lots and lots and lots of bottles, you will be able to build a beautiful home! You can choose to use a glass bottle or plastic bottle.
With whatever material you use, you have converted yourself into an instant hero for doing something huge for the environment.
Everything started from that aim- to help save the environment or merely to get rid of tons of bottles that are just dumped on the corner. You might be surprised to see that these little bottles can turn into a house.
Let us take a look at these extraordinary masterpieces!

2. The Kaleva Bottle House
The Kaleva Bottle House in Northern Michigan has a rich history. It was built by John J. Makinen, Sr. in 1941 out of over 60,000 pop bottles that came from his own Northwestern Bottling Works.
Most of the house’ walls used bottles as the outer exterior. This adds a rather unique look to the house.
