We are big fans of upcycling projects, especially when they are quick, easy and look fab when finished! Today we’re showing you how to take used pop bottles and convert them into lovely planters.
Using the wonderful First Edition Deco Mache papers, we’ve turned something that would usually go in the recycling bin into something that you’ll want to put on display. Fill these planters with your choice of greenery (we opted for a selection of succulents) and place them on your windowsill, desk or anywhere other space that you’d like to brighten up!
Read on as Maxine shows you how to create these stylish planters.
