As part of our #PlasticFreeJuly initiative, we will be posting ideas on ways of recycling plastic. This time, we are looking at a planter from an old plastic drinks bottle.
Items Required
Large Plastic Bottle
Scissors
Acrylic Paint ( colour of choice)
Indoor Plant
Compost
Selection of decorations
How to
Cut the plastic bottle to size
Paint the bottle colour of choice and leave it to dry. This may require a second coat.
There are many different ways to decorate the pot by using different colours and fabrics, in this case, we painted a face and used sticky eyes, which we bought from hobby craft.
We then half-filled the planter with compost and placed our plant into position to check the height. Once we were happy with the height we topped up the compost and then watered.
