Decorate your winter gardens this year with DIY flowers made from recycled soda cans!

You’ll need the following:

• 1 empty can of soda
• 1 bottle cap
• Razor Scissors
• Drill or nail
• String
• Stick

How to Make Flowers Using a Soda Can:

1- Use razor (and scissor if necessary) to cut off the top of the soda can around the ridge line.

2- Starting from the top of the can use your scissor to cut down about 1/8 -1/4 inch from the bottom.

3- Make cuts all the way around the can. Get creative with the cuts if you’d like by zig-zagging. Once all of the cuts are made. Fold all of them outwards.

4- Take the drill or nail and poke a hole in the bottle cap and the bottom of the can.

5- Fish string through the hole of the top of the bottle cap and continue it through the bottom part of the can.

6- Tie knots on either end to loosely secure the bottle cap to the can.

7- Tie a stick to the opposite side of the soda can that the bottle cap is on.

8- Plant your flower.
