Instructions:
Step 1:
Get a big plastic bottle and remove the label. Using a marker, make a circle around the bottle just below the middle. Once marker, cut using a cutter. Then clean the edges using a pair of scissors.
Step 2:
Using your scissors, cut the petal of the flower pot. Make 6 petals by cutting the plastic bottle vertically up until the middle. Once cut, curve the ends of each petal with your scissors.
Step 3:
Fold all of the petals outward. Make sure to fully bend each one and it will open upward. Press each petal lightly so it will open downward.
Step 4:
Get the bottom part of the plastic bottle and mark just above the feet of the plastic bottles. Then cut it using a cutter and clean using a pair of scissors. Using the bottle cap, mark a circle on the feet. heat the tip of your screwdriver and use it to cut the circle.
Step 5:
Remove the bottle cap from the flowered plastic then insert it into the feet of the plastic bottle. Once inserted, put the cap back on.
Step 6:
Using spray paint, paint your DIY pot. Once done, set it aside and let it dry. When it’s completely dry, get the screwdriver and heat the tip again. Then create 4 holes on the neck of the bottle for the drain. You now have your own DIY pot from plastic bottles.
