Plastic Bottle Flowers

November 6, 2015Laura Clifford

Want to make your own recycled flowers that will last forever? (note: not an activity for young kids as it involves melting plastic with a flame)

I’ve been wanting to try this for ages so I had a little play on my own while the boy and girl were at school.

What to do with lots of plastic bottle bottoms?

Cut the bottle bottom into petal shapes.

Hold the rounded edge of each petal over a flame to melt slightly. Don’t hold there for too long, you’ll see the plastic melt and change very quickly.

Cut different coloured bottle bottoms for leaves and petals.

I used the gas flame on our oven hob. It was hard to control what the heat would do to the plastic, took a bit of practice.

Layer a couple of melted bottles to create a flower. I cut up a yogurt pot lid and a plastic scourer pad to make the centre of the flower.

Use a glue gun to fix all the layers together. I found some twigs to use as stalks.
