How to Make a Hanging Planter Using Recycled Soda Bottles

Since the upside down hanging herb planters failed so bad, I had to go back to the drawing board and came up with the obvious solution. Put the cap back on the soda bottles and grow out of the top. Obvious, duh.

Here’s what you’ll need to make one:
• Tools and materials 2L soda bottle
• Duct tape
• Razor
• Hole puncher
• Thick twine or thin rope
• Drill or something to poke hole in bottle cap

Instructions on how to make a hanging herb planter:
• Use razor to cut off bottom third or so of soda bottle.
• Wrap duct tape around the bottom part of the soda bottle. Make sure that half of the duct tape is on the bottle and half is above it.
• Cut slits about 2-3″ apart in the duct tape and fold over.
• Punch two holes about halfway down the duct tape. Cut two more on the opposite side.
• Cut string and thread through two of the holes form the outside in. Do the same on the other side.
• Drill hole in soda bottle cap to allow for drainage and screw back on.
