Creative ways to turn plastic bottles into stunning DIY garden planters

Plastic bottles are one of the most bought and discarded items. Include suitable practices in your home and turn plastic bottles into gorgeous DIY projects.

Everyone has plastic bottles in their home which makes it easy and accessible to repurpose plastic bottles. Plastic bottles of all sizes can be handy in gardens, as plant pots, hanging pots and to build a sustainable vertical garden.

Simple planters

The bottom of the plastic bottles makes perfect simple planters when the bottom of the bottle has drainage holes. Cut the bottle in the middle and make drainage holes at the bottom. These planters can be decorated with paint, glue and craft, glitter, and buttons according to preference.

Self-watering planters

Self-watering planters are most efficient for people who tend to neglect their plants. A sustainable self-watering planter can be crafted by cutting the plastic bottle into two halves.

Poke drainage holes on the top of the bottle. Use the bottom of the bottle as a water and planter holder. Fill the top half with drainage holes with potting soil and plant of your choice in the plater and place it in the plant and water holder.

Hanging planters

Create hanging planters by poking holes in the side of the bottles. Attach a firm string to the holes on the side to create a hanging planter. Ensure all your DIY planters have drainage holes.

Vertical gardens

Sustainable vertical gardens are most efficient for those who have limited space or making an indoor vertical garden.

Plastic bottles offer endless opportunities to create sustainable, functional, and beautiful DIY projects for your home. From simple planters to self-watering systems, hanging pots, and vertical gardens, the possibilities are only limited by your creativity.

By repurposing plastic bottles, you not only reduce waste but also add a personal touch to your living space while promoting eco-friendly practices. Start transforming your plastic bottles today and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future, one DIY project at a time.
