Creating cute elephant planters from empty detergent bottles is a fun and eco-friendly DIY project. Here’s a simplified method to make these planters:

Materials Needed:

Empty detergent bottles

Scissors or a craft knife

Paint (acrylic or spray paint)

Paintbrushes

Hot glue gun

Decorative items (optional)

Plant pots and plants

Steps:

1.Clean Bottles:

Wash and dry the detergent bottles thoroughly.

2. Cut Bottles:

Cut out the shape of an elephant, including the legs and the trunk, as shown in the bottom left image.

3.Smooth Edges:

Sand the cut edges to remove any rough spots.

4. Paint:

Paint the bottles with a base color (e.g., white) and let them dry.

Add details like eyes, ears, and other decorations.

5. Attach Ears:

Cut out ear shapes from the remaining bottle or another material.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the ears to the sides of the bottle.

6. Plant:

Place small plant pots or directly plant succulents inside the bottle.

Tips:

Use multiple coats of paint for better coverage.

Add small rocks at the bottom for drainage if planting directly in the bottle.
