You have used a portion of a plastic bottle for something (maybe an Inverted Planter perhaps) and you dont really want to waste the bottom of the bottle...
Never fear, here's what you do.
Cut around the bottom grooves so that you have one piece that looks kinda like a flower.
Punch some holes, or use a hot needle to make holes.
Gather some string, fishing line, dental floss, or those metal craft rings.
String them together and VIOLA! You have an instant wall hanging, doorway curtain, or privacy blinds for your window.
Or you can also make a hole in the middle of them and insert a LED into each of them for some pretty flower lights!
You can also spray paint them to get different effects and colors.
Very fun, useful, and great to set up for kids, especially as doorway hangers.

I'm also looking for a way to join two flowers together to make a "fat" blossom. Glue and hot-glue hav'nt worked because the edges of the plastic are so thin and make the blossom look messy. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Great stuff.
She is a designer and Teacher (I think) of design in England. Good luck with finding more.
It's the overall effect that counts. I cut scalloped edges and they turned out fine.
Good luck with it.
If the whole bottles you are using are acceptable at your recycling plant then any part of the whole bottle is acceptable also. Good luck.
Provide a small box to put them in so they are not bothered by the clutter.
Most people would be pleased that they are being used for craft. Good crafting
