Making : Flower and Pen Holder Made with a Plastic Bottle
When it comes to activity ideas for kids, I personally prefer to re-use what we already have at our home, where possible.
In this case, we chose a used (green tea) plastic bottle to make a flower and a pen holder! =)
Here’s how we made them!
Plastic Bottle Flower
Using a pen knife, I cut out the top part of the bottle, about 1/3 of the way down.
Then I cut the sides (refer to the image above, on the right)
Anya then did the ‘colouring’, using acrylic paint.
Plastic Bottle Pen Holder
Using the same plastic bottle, I cut out the bottom third of the bottle.
Vai then coloured the outer side in using acrylic paint.
And VOILA!
Here are our recycled plastic bottle flower and pen holder! =)
Veeeerryy easy to make, yes?
And hey, we’re using an everyday household item and recycling it too! =)
…
Happy painting and crafting with your family, everyone!

My kids will surely enjoy this activity. Anyways, thank you for sharing this. Great post!
nice crafts
Hi kkf !
Thanks! =)
Have a great week ahead yeah!!
Very pretty. Thanks for sharing! For some reason I remember making these things when I was a kid but it never occurred to me to paint it so the children can get involved at a much earlier age (ie before they are dexterous enough to work with a pair of scissors).
Hi Elaine,
Those made by the kids are usually not as ‘neat’ and ‘proper’ as how we’d hope =) But I guess that’s the nice about kids and crafting and painting and all … They are … kiddish =)
