large (32 oz.) plastic drink bottles empty
2 (or 3) sm. plants
Artificial flowers or bugs
stick
small stones
Potting soil

Soak the bottle in very warm water for a few minutes. Then empty it, pull off
the colored bottom part and peel off the label. Clean the glue out of the bott
om part. Put a layer of small rocks in the bottom part. Put potting soil over
the rocks and then put in your plants. Be sure to press the roots of the plan

stones, tiny sticks, or tiny toy animals around the plants. Use a sharp knife
to cut the top off the clear part of the bottle (about 4" from the cap). Turn
the clear part upside down. Slip the cut edges into the planter to make a dom
e top. You can glue an artificial flower or bug to the dome for decoration.
