How to Make Planters With Plastic Bottles?

If you do not have a lot of room in your house to plant plants or flowers, for lack of space or light, today we are here to give you a new idea to create your own urban garden. In this article, we will show you how to make planters with plastic bottles and create a real little garden. It's a simple idea that will solve your space and light problems and have your own mini-garden hanging in your house. All you need is plastic bottles, a wall to hang on and a little imagination. Gardening and decoration unite once again to beautify your home.

You will need:

Plastic bottles (as much as you want)

Screw, scissors, lighter, ruler and pencil

Fine rope or string

Wall for hanging bottles

Steps to follow:

1.First, mark with a pencil or a felt the part where you cut the bottles, as well as the points through which the string will pass to hang the hanging garden. Then cut the bottle following the marks. It will be easier to use a cutter than scissors.

2.Then cut the length of the string you need and burn the ends with a lighter; be careful not to burn everything. Tap the ends so that the rope does not fray. Then pass the ropes through the two holes you made in the plastic bottle.

3.To ensure that the string does not escape you, we suggest you make a knot at the base and put a small piece of paper or cardboard to prevent the string going through the hole in the bottle.

4.Repeat the previous step for both ends of the bottles. So, the bottles will be perfect and ready to be put on the wall. You can use them as decorative plant pots.

5.When hanging planters, made with plastic bottles, we suggest you mark the wall to put the different bottles in various positions. Mark on the wall where you will place the bottles stowed so that they do not cover each other.

6.Remember to hang the bottles with nails. It must be thought that the earth will be much heavier. Secure it on the wall.

7. Through the open area, introduce the sand and potting soil to plant your flowers and plants. Then plant the seeds or flowers that you like best so that you can grow them.

8.And here, everything is ready! You can enjoy your home garden with simple plastic bottles. Remember that you can paint and decorate bottles at your convenience. Do as much as you want. It will be perfect!
