1. Cut the plastic bottles above the label. For the flowers, you will only need the top part of the bottles. Learn how to use the bottom part to make a vase/pot for your flowers in the Bonus section.

Bonus:

Create a vase/pot, stem, and leaves for your flower! Paint the bottom of the bottle that was leftover from the flower craft. Take a wooden skewer or a plastic staw and paint green. If your straw is already green, you do not need to paint it. Let everything dry. Take a piece of green paper and cut out a leaf. Glue or tape the leaf onto the skewer or straw. Tape the skewer or straw to the back of the cap of the flower and you are done!

​

Note: if using skewers, tape the sharp side to the flower.

More Ideas:

  • Garden Decoration: Add a waterproof sealer to your flower. Wrap a green floral stem wire to the cap.

  • Flower Garland: Attach flowers onto a strong piece of string and hang on a wall.
