These creative planters are a fantastic craft project for kids and adults!


Material

  • 1 Empty Soft Drink Bottle
  • A bit Potting mix
  • Multiple Paint Colours
  • 1 Plant of choice
  • 1 scissors or stanley knife

Method

  1. Cut the top of the empty soft drink bottle and put small holes in the bottom for drainage.
  2. Paint and decorate as desired. Try something different....maybe a panda bear? Instead of a straight cut, you could cut in ears or similar. Allow to dry.
  3. Fill with potting mix and plant. Project complete.

Notes

My daughter had a craft party for her 11th birthday and each child brought one of these home to keep. It kept them busy for ages.

  • I came back from my sister in laws place today and her front yard she grew a tomato cherry plant in the middle of her front yard and made it like a small island bush. Then she decorated it with colourful windmills and stick figures etc. I am surprised that no one has stolen them like they do with mine . All very cute , but can’t trust it being exposed outside .

  • We’ve had a very crafty weekend….the tiger could be a little neater but I was enjoying a few drinks at the time and the paints were flowing well hahaha.
    Unfortunately my photography skills aren’t that flash but I do love to paint (oooh that’s my painting on the wall in the background too)
