This method allows you to turn ordinary plastic bottles into an elegant decoration for your garden or home! Follow these simple steps to create a unique hanging planter that will add charm to your space.
Transforming Plastic Bottles
First, remove all labels and clean the bottles thoroughly. Use a knife to cut off the top part of each 1.5-liter bottle, including the neck. Carefully smooth the edges with an iron to remove sharpness.
Building the Structure
Connect 13 bottle necks together with a stapler, forming a circle. Create a ring from thick wire and secure its ends with thinner wire.
Attach this ring to the bottle necks using cable ties․
Continue adding more bottle necks, shaping a semi-spherical structure and reinforcing it with additional wire rings. Ensure the entire structure is stable and secure by fastening inner parts with wire loops.
Decorating Your Hanging Planter
Now comes the creative part—decoration! Spray-paint the structure in your desired color, then apply a protective varnish once dry. Secure three evenly spaced ropes or cords to the top ring using cable ties.
Screw the bottle caps back on. Inside the structure, place half of a garbage bag with drainage holes cut into it, then fill it with fertile soil.
Hang your planter outdoors, plant flowers, and water them generously. Your hanging planters—especially with petunias or other lush flowers—will look fantastic.
This creative bottle craft will surely become a highlight in your garden, adding a unique charm and style!
