Cute Pet Series: Mini Garden of Little Bear and Bunny

Can you recall the joy you experienced through cutting and pasting in craft classes when you were a child? We can use large plastic bottles, such as 2-liter Coke bottles, to make cute flower pots.

Operation steps:

First, draw the outline of the bear or rabbit's ears on the cardboard, then cut them out, and then attach them to the corresponding positions on the bottle body.

Cut along the edge of the template to cut out the general shape of the animal. Remember to use sandpaper to smooth the cuts to prevent your fingers from being cut.

4. Spray on white paint, let it dry, and use a waterproof paintbrush to add eyes and mouth.

5. This small flowerpot does not need to be perforated at the bottom. It can be directly placed on the outside of the original flowerpot and used to plant some peppergrass or gardenias. Place it on the windowsill to instantly enhance the style of your home.

Vertical Greening: Create Your Sky Herb Garden

Operation steps:

Collect a number of plastic bottles of the same size and cut a rectangular opening on one side of the bottle. This opening is used for planting and watering.

Use a drilling tool to drill several small holes at the bottom of the bottle. Similarly, use a drilling tool to drill several small holes at the shoulder of the bottle. These small holes are, on the one hand, for ventilation and drainage, and on the other hand, for threading ropes.

Thread a strong nylon rope through the small hole, or put a metal wire through the small hole, and then hang multiple plastic bottles in series, or hang multiple plastic bottles side by side.

4. This kind of item, called a hanging pot, is extremely suitable for growing herbs such as mint, basil and rosemary, as well as flowers with a longer blooming period such as pine leaf peonies. When cooking, pick a few mint leaves, which is both convenient and practical.

Minimalism: fresh vase and pen holder

If you expect to see results in just a few minutes, then the fresh vase is definitely worth trying, and the DIY pen holder is also definitely worth trying.

Fresh vase production:

All you need is a pair of scissors, starting from the shoulder of the plastic bottle, cut evenly into thin strips, and then fold all the strips outward to create a unique bottle shape. Place a small glass bottle to hold water and insert a few sprigs of pothos to create a cool scenery.

Creative pen holder production:

Cut the bottoms of two plastic bottles, one of them is cut slightly higher to serve as the outer tube, and the other is cut lower to serve as the inner lining. Sew the edges of the two sections together through a zipper. Use an awl to drill holes first and then sew. In this way, a "little monster with an open mouth" storage box is ready. It can be used to hold pens or various small parts, and the desktop will no longer be cluttered.

Holiday atmosphere group: romantic snowflakes and warm lampshades

The light transmittance of plastic bottles makes them an excellent material for creating ambient lighting.

Cut the transparent plastic bottle body, use cardboard to draw the shape of snowflakes, and then cut out the plastic sheet according to the template. You can cut out several different shapes of snowflakes, and then connect them in series with thin wires. Hang them in front of the window or under the lamp. When the summer wind blows, you can see the falling snowflakes, which gives you a refreshing feeling.

A particularly warm lampshade: Collect the bottoms of multiple plastic bottles and glue them together with hot melt glue to create a spherical lampshade that is almost like a honeycomb. Cover it on the outside of the LED night light, and the light will be scattered through the uneven bottom of the bottle, making the light and shadow appear mottled, which is particularly romantic. Although it takes a little patience to clean, the results will be amazing.

Advanced Challenge: Practical Furniture and Jewelry Storage

If you are more hands-on, try making something more durable .

**Instructions for portable jewelry stand**: There are several green plastic bottles, cut them horizontally, keep the deeper part at the bottom, sand the edges with sandpaper, and then fix them on the wooden board in an orderly manner. The fixing method is to fix them with screws from the bottom. The "small cups" of different heights can respectively place rings, bracelets and necklaces. They are clearly visible after placement and are easy to pick up.

Collect a large number of plastic bottles of the same type and tie them tightly into a cylindrical shape with tape to create such a strong frame. Wrap old clothes or something called cotton wool on the outside, and then sew a coat with the fabric. In this way, a square chair that is relatively light in weight but has stable characteristics appears, and its load-bearing capacity is relatively advantageous.

Life is like this. Adding an exquisite idea will add a sense of pleasure gained from hands-on operation. These solutions with practical value in daily life can not only help us save money and reduce the amount of waste generated, but also gain a rich sense of accomplishment in the production process.
