I am a plastic container collector and used to store milk plastic bottles since last two years. With more than 300 milk bottles lying around my junkyard, I thought to put it in some good use. Bottles are having good quality plastic and can sustain for much longer period of time, however a single 1 litre plastic bottle is not of much use. An idea of combining two or three bottles in some better design came into my mind.

Brainstorming

I found out that cutting the bottles in some particular way may be useful to insert one into another.

Getting Hands Dirty

Taking the idea forward, I used candle to warm up one knife to apply on stiff corners and scissors for sides. Cutting side of each bottles as planned, I was able to insert one into another.

Final Assembly

Final result was much bigger space for planter purpose. Filling it with soil and watering it for few days resulted in settle soil and ready for plantation.

I put some seeds into the planter and result is this beautiful looking planter lying in my balcony.
