Method

1. Choose whether you want a smaller, taller plant pot, or a longer, wider planter.

 2. If you want a taller pot, cut the top off a plastic bottle. If you want a wider planter, turn your bottle to the side and carefully cut a rectangle out of the top, so that there’s a long rectangular hole.

 3. Pick a creature to turn your pot into. It could be a bunny, a tiger, or even a monster. Paint your bottle using whatever colors you need for your creature. Leave it to dry. Acrylic paint works best on plastic, but other types of paint may also work — you just might have to paint more layers.
