Greetings to everyone and happy New week to you all, hope you are all doing well and fine. In today's world where environmental concern are growing , upcycling and recycling has emerged as one of the creative and sustainable way to reduce waste. Today I wanted to try something different and new, so I decided on crafting a plastic bottle plant at my own free time. I've always disliked seeing plastic bottles liter around the environment and then I realize that instead of throwing them away they can be transformed into something useful and valuable, so I decided to make a plant using plastic bottle and with the help of YouTube I was able to create it.

MATERIALS

• Scissors
• Bottle
• Lighter

step I

First I took a bottle of my choice which is a green bottle and used my Scissor to cut off the mouth, then I also cut the middle part of the body straight.





step 2

Next I cut the bottom part of the bottle in a circle shape but I still left a little part of it. Then I divided the large parts in the middle of the bottle into three parts in the same way, but I did not cut the part in the middle of those parts. As shown in the picture.





step 3

Using my Scissor, I carefully cut the part which I have already cut into a leaf shape. I cut 10 to 12 pieces one by one from that part, Then I cut 10 to 12 leaves in the same way on the part of the bottle on the opposite side and left a part along the middle while cutting the leaves so that the leaves don't tear. If I cut it completely, the tree won't be able to branch.








step 4

Then I cut 10 to 12 leaves in the same way on the part below the two parts above and didn't cut the middle part of the leaves on both sides so that the leaf, branch and leaf stick together. After cutting the entire leaves, you can see that the leaves are all together on one side

step 5

After doing that, I then used my lighter to give the tree the right shape. First I bent the branch of the tree using a little fire, So I bent the upper part of the tree branch a little more by heating it with fire. Then I bent the parts of each leaf that have branches with the heat of the fire lightly.







step 6

As I continued, I then lighted the tree with a little heat to make it look more beautiful, Then I bent the entire upper part of the tree and the complete leaves of the tree with heat, the front part of the tree looked empty so I attached a leaf to that part like a branch.









At the end I was finally done with my craft and here's the final result.

I actually took me some days to create this because of how busy I was but when the work was finally done, I loved it very much. This DIY project not only enhances creativity but also supports environmental conservation by reducing plastic waste. I hope you all liked my post and have a nice day. Till we see again, bye for now.
