DIY Plastic Bottle Flowers

These plastic bottle flowers are a cute way to recycle water bottles. It is such a simple way to keep kids entertained and crafting when they are stuck in the house or a rainy afternoon. Kids can make these flowers to decorate outside, the walls or create simple easy spring decorations.

What Bottles are Best For These Flowers?

I use whatever water bottles we have on hand. My girls love to collect water bottles, so these plastic bottle flowers are one way to get the girls happy to get rid of their bottles. They love making these easy flowers and hanging them outside.

How do You Cut Plastic Flowers?

After you have cut the water bottle into 2, cut down towards the bottom, but not all the way to the bottom. This creates the petals. I like to cut the petals on about the same size, so I like to use the indents along the bottom to judge where to cut

Supplies Needed

How to make Plastic Bottle Flowers

Make sure the water bottle is empty and mostly dry.

Close to the bottom, cut the water bottle in half.

Paint the inside and outside of the water bottle bottom.

Then cut down the water bottom into sections. This will form the petals.

Curl each petal around a pencil or down rod. This creates the curve in the petals.

Display the plastic bottle flowers on sticks, on a string or on the top of pencils.
