We have a small back yard & we just got some plants for our butterflies, so with the lack of room we made soda bottle hanging planters.
Supplies:
2 liter soda bottle
super sharp scissors
string
(items to decorate bottles)
I had my kids decorate the bottles with foam stickers (not sure how they will hold up outside)
My daughter did a Valentine one!
Then I cut the bottoms of the bottles off, poked holes in the cut portion and strung string through it for hanging.
Pour the potting soil & plant the plants
Then hang them up!
So cute! Great idea!
Wonderful idea! Kerri

Very cute!
what a great idea!! I think strawberries would grow really well in those!
(Spring Get Crafty is now out!!! I featured this: http://www.redtedart.com/2011/03/01/spring-get-crafty/ thanks for a lovely craft to include!)
Super cute idea! I think I’ll take a previous commenter’s idea and try some strawberries. We’ve always had problems with bugs getting tour before we can pick them. Maybe if they’re off the ground we can enjoy the berries before the bugs do 😉
Fantastic for my little apartment balcony!! I’m on it!
