Plastic Bottle Planters
Here’s what you’ll need to make this super easy and eco-friendly planter at home:
- plastic bottles
- acrylic paint
- paintbrush
- utility knife or scissors
- glue
- googly eyes/feathers/any other decorations you choose
- plants or seeds to sprout
- soil
DIRECTIONS:
✔️Start by cutting an empty bottle in half, or about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. Parents: you might need to help your little ones with this!
✔️Grab some paint and brush on a few layers to make sure your plastic bottle is fully coated. Let each coat fully dry between layers.
✔️Add googly eyes, feathers, or anything else you’d like to add to your planter with glue. Let it dry.
✔️Once the paint is completely dry, carefully add soil to your new planter and plant your seedling! Add some water – careful not to flood the planter.
✔️Place your planter somewhere sunny, watch your plant grow – and know you helped to give a second life to a piece of plastic!
