WEEK-END CRAFTS, MOTHER'S DAY

I was amazed when I saw crafts online 
made from recycled 2 liter soda bottles!
There are endless possibilities once your creative juices start flowing! Cute Mother's Day gifts can be made from empty plastic
2 liter soda bottles. I didn't have any empty soda bottles. I just purchased cheap house brand sodas and poured the soda out. The bottles were cleaned and washed.

I'll share some inspiration images to give you some creative ideas for your Mother's Day gift.

You'll need some of the following items regardless of the gift idea you choose:

Empty 2 liter plastic soda bottles, cleaned
Scissors
Plastic bottle caps
Google eyes, pipe cleaners, buttons,etc
Markers
Potting soil
Favorite plants 
Small rocks or marbles



HAPPY FACE PLANTERS

IMAGE #1

CRAFT IDEA FROM GOOGLE SEARCH



NOTES: USE SCISSORS TO CUT TOP OFF YOUR BOTTLE. HOT GLUE GOOGLE EYES 
AND BOTTLE CAPS FOR THE FACE.
CHOOSE PLANTS THAT LOOK LIKE HAIR. REMEMBER TO PLACE ROCKS OR MARBLES
IN BOTTOM BEFORE ADDING POTTING SOIL. IT HELPS WITH SOIL DRAINAGE.

MY CRAFT IDEA
 

NOTES: I DIDN'T HAVE GOOGLE EYES
SO USE BUTTONS & PIPE CLEANERS
PIECES FOR THE FACE. PUT ROCKS IN BOTTOM OF PLANTER FOR DRAINAGE. 
USED RECYCLED PLASTIC JARS FOR MY PLANTERS. THE JAR TOP WAS USED AS 
PLANTER SAUCER. I DECIDED TO USE CUTTINGS FROM THE PLANTS ON MY PORCH.
