Hello dear readers
Before I'll let you know who the winner is I'll show you how easy it is to make these planters with one of the most common household items.
Materials and tools:
Tools are what you see in the photo.
Materials: A small bottle of eye drops or vitamin D drops. Narrow trimmings or lace.
Tucky glue, Acrylic paint of your choice. A narrow masking tape for covering the rough edges of the brim.
I'm keeping the other parts of the bottle to see what can be done with them.
To enable the trimming will stay firmly glued on plastic, the brim has to be covered with masking tape.
A piece of lace is glued to the urn in the middle. I wonder what it will look like after being painted.
All three will be painted after the glue is completely dry.
I used materials that I had at hand for embellishing this part of the bottles. I ordered a silicone mold from Aliexpress. I hope to get it soon so I can make more versions. The people at the Center were excited to see the first urn and started bringing all kinds and sizes of empty plastic medicine containers. I'm sure they can help me to decorate the bottles.
Not surprisingly, several comments were very close to the solution. The winner was the first with her comment. (Freethinker please contact me by email, at drorahed@gmail.com).
Thank you for your much-appreciated and most welcomed comments.
This is a list of participants in my second giveaway draw. The winner can choose one of the planters shown above after I make a slight change by gluing the plants inside the containers.

ReplyDeletePoor Ricardo - he will have a hard time to choose from these 3 beautiful planters. *LOL* No, honestly, congrats to Ricardo and to the other very good guesser - and a huge thanks to you for this lovely giveaway but even more for another stunning tutorial and a wonderful inspiration.

Dear Drora, your re-use of the ordinary little plastic bottle to make the urn planters is ingenious! The addition of the decorative trim, lace or paper or any other small relief pattern is even better! Lucky Ricardo to win! Keep up the wonderful work! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are just adorable! I really need to try this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tutorial! The urns turned out just great. No-one can tell that they were made of household items.
