Repurpose plastic bottles into flower pots

My latest endeavor to repurpose or recycle plastic bottles uses juice bottles - the square type - but you can use any size or shape of plastic bottles for this project. In fact, the more varied your plant containers - the nicer the overall effect when they are all placed together.

 

I am becoming seriously obsessed with repurposing plastic bottles and containers. After cutting the bottles in half and then trimming them down to different sizes with a craft knife and pair or scissors, each plastic container was then sprayed in a different colour with Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint. The new formula Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint can now be applied to plastics, which is great news for anyone wanting to recycle plastic bottles and containers. I know spray paint is not considered a 'green' product, but hey... one step at a time!

I have only potted up two containers at the moment - with these gorgeous tiny cacti - but do plan to make more when I find some nice, small plants,
