Plasticky

When we buy drinks, they come in plastic bottles and cartons. So one day I thought, what if we can use those to make some craft. I found a very nice way of using those bottles to make vase and flower.

I followed the website http://www.handimania.com/diy/recycled-plastic-bottle-vase.html to make the vase.

The vase only uses the bottom part of the bottle.

To make the flowers, I used the other part of the bottle. I had cut it in the shape of petals and lifted the petals in the reverse direction so that it looks like a blooming flower. After that I drew on those petals. The most time consuming job that I had in the whole project was to draw every petal. Here is a picture showing the flowers. The first one has the petals as usual. The second one has a blooming look.

To make those floweres stay in the vase, I used wooden sticks which are used for BBQ.  Then I made holes in the bottle caps using a knife. And inserted those sticks through them. To stop the sticks from falling through the hole I glued them onto small balls that I made using aluminum foil. Later, I wrapped the sticks with the foil.  This is how they look finally.

They look pretty right. Plastic isn't that bad. Don't you think ?
