Instructions

Step 1:

Remove the label and cut the top part of each plastic bottle. Clean and dry them well.

Step 2:

Paint each of the plastic bottles in the color of choice, then let them dry.

Step 3:

Get a screwdriver and heat the tip. Create two holes on opposite sides on the top part of each plastic bottle. Once done, create holes in the bottom for the drain.

Step 4:

Get the cotton swab and dip it in the other paint. Paint dots on each plastic bottle.

Step 5:

Wrap the wring with jute rope all the way around.

Step 6:

Fill each bottle with potting soil.

Step 7:

Cut ropes in varying sizes for each of the plastic bottles. The length should vary for each one to create the spiral effect. Insert one end of the rope into one of the holes, and make a knot to secure it in place. Hang it on the ring, then insert the other end into the other hole and make a knot. Repeat with the other bottles. Check the height difference of each one and adjust if needed.

Step 8:

Put the plants into the soil.

Step 9:

Cut three ropes and tie them on the ring, then attach them to a hook.
