Diamond Post Medal for All Time! 1,246 Posts Don't throw out your plastic bottles. A little cutting and folding will transform them into beautiful starburst vases!
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 1 vase
Source: A simple version of one from an old craft class
Supplies:
- plastic bottle
- knife
- scissors
Steps:
- Remove any labeling.
- Cut off the top of the bottle. I punctured a hole with my knife then stuck the scissors in and went around.
- Make straight, even-sized thin cuts around the bottle vertically. Go all the way around the bottle.
- Fold the strips down so they are level.
- Take one strip and fold it over the next strip and tuck under the strip after that. Continue all the way around the bottle.
- Fill with water and flowers. Enjoy!
