DIY Art Project: Plastic Flowers

 

• a pair of scissors;
• three white bottles;
• one yellow bottle;
• a lighter;
• a piece of fringed paper;
• (optional) some glue;

You ought to start by fashioning 3 hollow cone shapes from the white PET. Then, cut off the head (top side) of the yellow bottle and with the help of a scissor, cut petal-like shapes into it. Check to see if your work matches the one in the photo. Next, use the lighter to round up the `petals` and actually give them a natural look.

Now, you have two options. Either you cut a middle piece from the yellow bottle and fashion it into a shredded spiral, or you use a piece of fringed paper which you might have in the kitchen or from Christmas, and place it in the middle of the upside-down bottle. Then, take each white cone and cut petals into it, like the ones in the picture; be careful not to cut them off, because you will need another bottle for that.

Finally, place each cone with their `petals` intermingling on the neck of the yellow bottle. You can secure the top non-petal part of them to the bottle with a bit of glue, just to make sure. When turned upside down, it looks like a beautiful lily flower. Congratulations! You saved the planet a bit and maybe inspired someone to do the same.
