Reviews from the network about handicrafts from plastic bottles with their own hands

In general, no one wants to talk about products from plastic bottles, then I myself)) I just saw a few quite interesting things that you really should pay attention to. And note, it's all from the components of plastic bottles from under the water, beer, juice. One of the products is a garland of plastic bottles, which turned out to be very pretty. This can be installed in the garden, in the gazebo, and anywhere, because it looks very original. The next product is the color of the bottles. It is also a masterpiece, because you will have to thoroughly suffer with them. But the good thing is that neither fertilizing nor watering them is necessary)) further, generally cool - garden figures from plastic bottles - animals, birds, and so on. Brilliant. Honestly, if I wouldn’t have put many crafts in my garden because of their kind of self, then it’s with pleasure))

Well, while you think I found more crafts from plastic bottles, and with pleasure I add them to this topic. In general, this is what happened to the master - a whole flowerbed of plastic bottles, with the decoration of the lower part in the form of flowers, as well as in the formation of lanterns. It is clear that this design is not at the cottage, but you can put it near any private house without problems. In short, there really is something to be equal to, after all, not unpretentious flowers, but entire stands with lanterns, and even illuminated ones))
