Plastic Bottle Terrarium


Plastic Bottle Terrarium 

I remember making one of these in 8th grade and thought it was fun. It is an environmentally friendly way to recycle your plastic bottles and grow plants. 


Materials - Bottle (plastic), thick rope (I used fabric), scissors, soil, and a seed. 

Step 1 - Cut the bottle in half.



Step 2 - Wash out the halves. 

Step 3 - Drill/poke a hole in the cap. This is where the string will go. 

Step 4 - Insert a thick string into the hole. Make sure it is a very snug fit and will not come out. Leave a couple of inches to dangle in the water.



Step 5 - Fill the top with soil and the bottom with water. Plant your seed and leave it in a spot where the sun will shine. Give it a while and your plant will sprout and start growing. Enjoy!
