Most of us often see trash as a waste or a pile of unused items and do not think how valuable it can be if we try making something out of it .

And yes guys,this "Trash to Treasure" contest is the best place to display your creative minds and make people believe,how trash or waste items (especially plastic bottles) can be turned into valuable items instead of just disposing it off and polluting the environment.

I made a hanging water fountain (which can be even used as night lamp) from old plastic bottle.It's very simple to build and any one can make it. It have made it from completely waste stuff and didn't costed me much.
