The only thing better than a trash-to-treasure craft is trash-to-treasure craft that helps you to grow your garden. Give us one that we can do in less than an hour-like this quick project-and you’ve hit the DIY jackpot.
Instead of tossing used plastic bottles, hold onto them and use this genius tutorial from Califia Farms to transform them into an indoor herb garden. Leftover juice, water, soda, and milk containers can all be turned into the perfect pieces for a hanging garden you can display in your kitchen, on your porch, or just about anywhere in your home.
You’ll need a plastic bottle, twine, a drill, and a utility knife to make this piece at home. And if you want to create a planter that’s both functional and beautiful, you can use some paint, ribbon, and other crafty decorations to adorn it.
Not only is this project practically free to make, it’s also a brilliant gardening solution for small homes and spaces. By hanging these pieces near a sunny window in your home, you won’t need to take up precious countertop space, and you can grow your favorite plants year-round.
