Plastic Bottle Hanging Planter
Don’t throw away those plastic water and soda bottles. Instead, make a cute hanging planter! All it takes is bright paint, a few succulents or herbs, some yarn and a little help from an adult. In no time, your child will turn his trash into treasure!
Materials Needed:
- Plastic bottles
- Plants
- Soil
- Utility knife
- Yarn
- Acrylic paint
Step One: Cut the bottle in half using the utility knife.
Step Two: Paint the top portion of the bottle, as well as the lid with some acrylic paint. You may need to apply a few coats.
Step Three: Once the paint is dry, use the knife to cut four holes around the middle of the bottle.
Step Four: Thread some yarn through the holes and tie off with a knot. Trim the yarn to your desired length.
Step Five: Fill with soil and plants and hang the planters in a sunny spot!
