Flowers Out of Recycled Plastic Bottles. Before and After

I love to give a second live to plastic bottles.

I am working on a project related with a garden made out of recycled plastic bottles.

I do not know for sure how it will be. Meanwhile, I'm working on small prototypes.

I've made plants, trees and several different types of flowers. This one is a kind of rose. The bottles determine the color. I made them red, pink and white.

• 1 Plastic bottle
• 1 Clothes hanger or wire (green if possible)
• Scissors
• Cutter
• Pliers
• Kitchen torch
• Glue gun

We will have to cut the bottle and remove the top and bottom of it.

After cutting the top and the bottom of the bottle, we cut again in order to obtain a rectangle

We will cut a circle, and we'll make a spiral with it

With the pliers, we will roll up the spiral from the outside towards the inside

With a cooking torch, we will apply heat to the plastic.

Be careful, do not burn the plastic. The material will take shape and become hard

The stem of the flower is a green wire. We can use a clothes hanger.

We will put the wire in the inside part of the flower, and apply glue with the glue gun

The plastic bottle was not so big (33cl), and we could make two flowers out of it.
