Recycle plastic pop bottles to make fabulous whimsical flowers


These unique flowers are made from clear pop and water bottles! It's not all that difficult, but it does require a number of steps. If you're interested send me a reply - I'm thinking of making up complete instruction sheets with photos to sell at a nominal fee. We'll see how much interest there is. I sold these flowers in bunches at The Cabbagetown Festival Craft Show in Toronto a few years ago - huge success. I'd also like to secure a craft book contract for this project with Lark books for example...but I need to prove there's interest.
PS - They are weather proof...I've had a bunch outside in a pot all year round for 5 years now...colours are still good, but some of the metal wire is rusty looking...not bad for a recycle-no/low cost project!

YOU MUST SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS AND $3 TO COVER POSTAGE AND PHOTOCOPYING - THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT ONLINE - SORRY (it's 7 pages long and has drawn instructions I am not able to put on this site)
