How to make a designer flowerpot out of recycled materials? (With humor, because plants like to laugh)

Step 1: Gather a team for action – the things you need

• A plastic bottle (preferably a water bottle, as orange soda can be sticky)
• Scissors (sharp, but not too sharp)
• Marker (for artistic madness)
• Colorful stickers, tapes, glitter – whatever you can find!
• Plant potting soil (not to be confused with chocolate flower potting soil)
• A small plant (cactus, succulent, basil – let it move into its new home)
• Spoon or shovel (for gardening)

Step 2: Operation Bottle – Time to cut!

1. Remove the label and wash the bottle (plants don't like cola behind the ear).
2. Mark the cutting line with a marker – approximately 1/3 of the way up from the bottom.
   (No need to use a ruler. Curves are in!)
3. Grab your scissors! Carefully cut the bottle along the line.
   (If you have little helpers at home, let them watch and cheer you on.)

Step 3: Time for some design madness!

1. Grab a marker and let your imagination run wild. Draw a funny face, leaves, or a plant superhero.
2. Stickers, tape, glitter? Sure! The more colorful, the better. This isn't IKEA, there's no boredom here!
3. Your flowerpot should be so original that even a cactus will smile.

Step 4: Earth, or the ground is the foundation

1. Pour some soil into the bottom (not too much, as the plant likes to have room for its roots).
2. Place the plant in the pot and cover it with soil, pressing it down lightly (but not too much, let it breathe).
3. Use a spoon, and if you don't have one, your fingers will do the trick too!
4. Water gently – plants do not like flooding.

Step 5: Desktop presentation – make everyone jealous!
