Transforming plastic bottles into flower jars: a floral idea!
Plastic bottles are common objects that we use every day. Rather than throw them away, why not turn them into pots of flowers to add a touch of greenery to your environment? It’s both ecological and economic! Here are some simple steps to achieve this creative transformation.
Materials required:
- Empty and clean plastic bottles
- Birds
- Acrylic or spray paint (optional)
- Land and plants
Steps to follow:
1. First select the plastic bottles you want to turn into flower pots. Make sure they are clean and empty.
2. Use the scissors to cut the top of the bottle according to the size desired for your flower pot. The bigger the bottle, the larger the pot.
3. You can also paint the bottles with acrylic or spray paint to give them a more aesthetic look. Let dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
4. Fill the bottom of each cut bottle with a layer of gravel or clay beads to ensure good drainage of water.
5. Add soil to each pot and plant the flowers or plants of your choice. Be sure to water them regularly and place them in a place where they can enjoy sunlight.
Decoration ideas:
You can give free rein to your creativity by decorating your plastic flower jars. Here are some ideas:
- Customize pots with hand painted patterns or coloured stickers.
- Use coloured ribbons or strings to embellish the edges of pots.
