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, pooked holes in the cut portion and strung string through it for hanging.
Pour the potting soil & plant the plants
Then hang them up!
