Step 1: Prepare the Materials

Materials needed:

  • Plastic Bottle
  • Thread
  • Scissor
  • Blade Cutter
  • Pen
  • Nail and Hammer
  • Soil
  • Plant
  • Water
  • sequins (optional)

Step 2: Make a Mark!!

Get the plastic bottle and pen

Divide the bottle into 3 line (the middle one should be slightly small) and make a circular mark using a pen.

Step 3: Cutting!!!

    Using a sharp blade cutter cut the marked line and use the scissor for trimming the excess

    get the middle one then cut it into circular in vertical way.

    connect the middle to the bottom bottle

    note: be careful of using the blade cutter :)

    Step 4: Cap of the Bottle

    • get the cap of the bottle and mark a dot in the middle
    • use a nail and hammer to make a hole

    note: be careful of using the nail and hammer :)

    Step 5: Thread!!!

    • get the thread and put it in the hole
    • pull the thread (leave at least 2 inches of thread for the bottom)

    use of thread: thread will be the one to connect into the plant to slowly get the water

    Step 6: Soil, Plant and Water

    • pour soil for at least half of the bottle
    • then add your plant (the plant must be small and will not grow for at least 5 inches above tall)
    • add some water for the bottom of the bottle
    • then connect them together :)

    I add some sequences to make it looks beautiful :))
