Simple Flower Art From a Plastic Bottle!

Intro: Simple Flower Art From a Plastic Bottle!

In this Instructables, you'll learn how to reuse a plastic bottle and turn it into a flower! This art piece is easy to create and makes a great decoration!

STEP 1: Flower

Cut off the top part of the bottle.

Then, cut along the body of the bottle in thin strips. The thinner the better, as the plastic will bend naturally. Stop when you're close to the bottom of the bottle.
Spread out the petals.

STEP 2: Bud

For the bud, cut the bottle in half. Cut petals in each half, and remove the bottle top. Bend the petals inward if needed.

STEP 3: Spray Paint

Choose a variety of colors.

Inspired by the dahlias in our yard, we spray painted yellow first, then red, orange, and pink.

STEP 4: Arrange & Glue

After drying, arrange the layers in a stack and hot glue them together.

SO simple and yet makes such a statement! I love how delicate they look, and the fact you used recyclable bottles. This lends a number of possibilities for the pompom like look. Heat would also add another feature for shaping, too!

Thank you so much! Shaping with a heat is an interesting suggestion.
