Soda Bottle Planter Project

Knowing that Shelby is on spring break this week made me a little nervous.  How would I entertain the little chatterbox and keep her entertained so that she didn't sit in front of the tv for hours on end?  I needed something that was fun and getting dirty is always fun.  Being that I had a collection of empty soda bottles from all our Calvary Chapel Morris Hills Community Group meetings that I didn't want to throw away I decided to recycle them into planters.  Yes, I saw it on the web somewhere!

Shelby decided to make a giant sand hourglass with these two soda bottles!

Soda bottles measured with a can of beans and then cut.

Duck taped the edges so we wouldn't cut ourselves. Then I took a brand new mop strings and strung them thru the opening...Um I just remembered I forgot to make drainage holes!

Added dirt, water and now Shelby is getting ready to start adding the seeds...how exciting!

Voila! C'est fini!

This is what little miss Shelby did with the leftover mop! Now I know what I'm gonna look like with white hair!

Hope you enjoyed this as much as we did!  Truth be told...I think I enjoyed it more than Shelby did!
