Welcome once again to my presentation, in addition to participating, this time I am going to share a beautiful pendant for plants made with plastic bottles. To make it we need the following materials:

🐞 3 botellas plásticas
🐞Un trozo de tela gruesa
🐞Tijeras
🐞Hilo y aguja
🐞Trozo de encaje o cinta
🐞Tierra de abono para matas
🐞3 plantas pequeñas
🐞 3 plastic bottles
🐞A piece of thick fabric
🐞Scissors
🐞Needle and thread
🐞A piece of lace or ribbon
🐞Compost soil for plants
🐞3 small plants
Como recomendación la tierra debe ser de hojitas y tronco descompuesto, para que sea liviana. La tela preferiblemente gruesa, para que soporte el peso, yo utilice jean.
As a recommendation, the soil should be made of leaves and decomposed trunk, so that it is light. The fabric preferably thick, to support the weight, I use jean.
Lo primero que hice fue elaborar florecitas con el encaje que tenía disponible. Se debe arruchar el encaje con hilo, luego darle la forma de flor y coser. Me salieron 6 florecitas 4 amarillas y 2 azules.
The first thing I did was make little flowers with the lace I had available. The lace should be creased with thread, then shaped into a flower and sewn. I got 6 little flowers 4 yellow and 2 blue.

Luego tome las botellas para hacerle los orificios necesarios. Primero por donde se sembrara la planta. Se delinea primero con un marcador y luego se corta.
Then take the bottles to make the necessary holes. First where the plant will be planted. It is first outlined with a marker and then cut.

Después por donde se le pondrán las tiras para colgar y algunos para que deseche el exceso de agua al regar la planta. Para eso tome el destornillador más grueso que encontré, lo puse al fuego y una vez bien caliente pude perforar las botellas.
Then where you will put the strips to hang and some to discard the excess water when watering the plant. For that I took the thickest screwdriver I found, I put it on the fire and once it was very hot I was able to pierce the bottles.

Luego del trozo de tela saque varias tiras para, ahora que las botellas están perforadas, puedo colocar la tiras en cada una, por donde lo colgaremos a la superficie y de una botella a otra.
After the piece of cloth I take out several strips so, now that the bottles are perforated, I can place the strips in each one, where we will hang it to the surface and from one bottle to another.

Después, puse a remojar la tierra en agua, porque así es más fácil manipularla al momento de plantar.
Afterwards, I soaked the soil in water, because that way it is easier to manipulate it when planting.

Seguidamente me dispuse a seleccionar entre las plantas de mi jardín cuales serían adecuadas para el colgante.

Once chosen, I set about planting them in the bottles, from top to bottom.

Llenar bien cada botella con la tierra, dejando solo es espacio para la planta, después se termina de llenar.
Fill each bottle well with the soil, leaving only space for the plant, then it is finished filling.

Una vez plantadas las 3, puse el colgante en un lugar provisional para colocarle con hilo y aguja las florecitas de encaje que hice al principio.
Once all 3 were planted, I put the pendant in a temporary place to place the little lace flowers that I made at the beginning with a needle and thread.

Lo ideal es pintar la superficie de las botellas por dentro con pintura negra, porque eso permitiría conservar más la humedad. Pero no cuento con la pintura en casa por lo que tuve que obviar esa opción.
The ideal is to paint the surface of the bottles on the inside with black paint, because that would allow more moisture to be conserved. But I do not have painting at home so I had to ignore that option.

Reciclar es útil e importante. Reusamos lo que tenemos al alcance para sacar provecho de ese material y poder contar con otro objeto de utilidad para nuestro hogar. Además, dependiendo del material, evita la contaminación innecesaria y tan dañina para nuestro ambiente. En la actualidad reusar o reciclar también nos evita gastos innecesarios, por lo que ayuda en la economía disminuyendo los egresos. Podríamos en todo caso usar el reciclaje como una manera de obtener ingresos mediante la creación y confección de utensilios o accesorios para el hogar y para nosotras en nuestra rutina diaria.
Recycling is useful and important. We reuse what we have within reach to take advantage of that material and be able to have another useful object for our home. In addition, depending on the material, it avoids unnecessary pollution and so harmful to our environment. Currently reusing or recycling also saves us unnecessary expenses, so it helps the economy by reducing expenses. We could in any case use recycling as a way to obtain income by creating and making utensils or accessories for the home and for ourselves in our daily routine.

Que idea tann genial, la pondré en práctica para mis plantas.
Hola @carla.spain Una idea estupenda, me encanta.
Que mejor que reciclar el plástico que tanto daño le hace al planeta para darle vida a esas plantas.
Saludos.
Si amiga el plástico es muy dañino. Siempre que se pueda reutilizar en algo útil es mejor que enviarlo a la basura. Gracias por tu comentario.
así es amiga. Saludos
Hermoso arte ami, cutivar es lo maximo y hacer nuestros propios materos genial
saludos
