Fun Saturday: How to Make Flower Vases With Recycled Plastic Bottles

February 19, 2011 By Melanie Roberts 4 Comments

I bet you got flowers for Valentine’s day… now if you just had a pretty vase to put them in. How about have the little ones make you a vase?? It’s such a fun project for kids to do and the outcome is priceless. I love when my kids make cards,

pictures anything I can treasure. I bet you will love this project and will remember it for a long time to come… This would also be a great Mother’s day present, or for Grandma’s Birthday… or just a yearly thing to do with your little one, and each year you see how much your little one has change from starting with scribbles to stick figures to an actual flower and person on the picture… Let’s get started.


This is what you need to make a flower vase:

  • Plastic bottle
  • White paper
  • acrylic glitter glue
  • scissors
  • glue
  • pencil


With the help of an adult cut off the top of the bottle


Cut a piece of paper wider than the circumference of the bottle your are trying to decorate and slightly longer than the length of your bottle.


Have your little ones color their paper any way they like, draw a picture, design, write a note…


Once you are done drawing on the paper, roll the paper around the bottle and glue in place.
Go over the design with acrylic glue. Allow to dry. Put some flowers in the vase and surprise Mom or Grandma
