flower pots made from recycled bottles
We often throw away plastic bottles without knowing that we can create
some recycled crafts, such as some pretty flower pots, without spending
a lot of money and with materials that we always have at home.

Take note of this idea for the home that will definitely inspire you for
decorating outdoor gardens. We explain it to you step by step:

MATERIALS

• Plastic bottles

• Silicone

• Scissors

• Acrylic paint

• Recycled CDs

• Paintbrush

PROCEDURE

Clean the bottles


Before starting your recycling crafts, apply a few drops of liquid Axion
with water inside the bottles and shake several times to remove dust
and dirt.

Cut the bottles


Using scissors or a scalpel, cut the bottle in half to shape the edge. If
you like variety, you can make different cuts so you will have several
models of pots that will make your outdoor garden design look better.
Glue the CD

After you have the bottles cut, take the CD and glue it to the top of
the bottle using hot glue. After gluing it, apply pressure and leave
your recycled crafts on a flat surface.

Paint the bottles

To give more life to this idea for your home, paint the bottles in the color
you want using acrylic paint and draw different shapes, such as flowers,
circles or whatever figure you want. Now they are ready for you to put
your favorite plants in and start decorating the outdoor gardens you have
in mind.

PLACE THE
PLANT
We put some soil and the plant of your choice
A GIRAFFE-SHAPED FLOWERPOT
With plastic bottles and lids you can create different recycling ideas,
and here we share with you how to make a giraffe-shaped flowerpot.
This pot is ideal for decorating your garden, and you only need a few
materials, especially creativity when decorating the pot. For this
recycling idea with plastic bottles, you need these materials

MATERIALS

•5 small plastic bottles with their lids


• 2 large bottles with lids
• A canister with a lid
• Cutter
• Scissors
• Marker
• Headbands
• Silicone
• Spray paint and acrylic paint
• Paintbrush

PROCEDURE

The first thing


you should do is
remove the labels
from the bottles, then you should use a marker to mark the parts
you are going to cut from the small bottles, and you should make a
hole in the small edges that you left from the bottles on both sides.

Next, use a marker to mark a division on the drum and then mark
on both sides the space where you will place the small plastic
bottles. Then make six holes on these marks and on the division.
On the other side of the drum, draw a square and cut out that part
very carefully with a cutter.

Now you have to join the small bottles that will be the legs of the
giraffe and you can use
headbands. Then cut
the base of a large
bottle and the nozzle,
and join the base with the other base of the bottle. At the base cut
a small circle the size of the nozzle of the other full bottle and
insert the nozzle and hold it with the lid of the full bottle. Then
make a circle in the drum to place what you put together from the
bottles and glue it with silicone.

Using scraps of plastic, draw the giraffe's horns. Make small cuts with
the cutter to insert the horns and ears. Also, form the giraffe's tail with
the piece of plastic. Then, paint the pot with spray paint and paint the
details of the giraffe's body with acrylic paint. Then, add soil, the plant
and water.
