Buddhist monks in Thailand, have been building a temple complex from empty beer bottles. Known as Wat Lan Kuad or 'the Temple of a Million Bottles', located in Sisaket province near the Cambodian border. Of course alcohol, for lay and monastics, was strongly discouraged by the Buddha, so I don't know if this is exactly "kosher".
The overall effect is beautiful and yet kitschy at the same time. You can see more photos here and read more about it here.
