Turn trash into a pretty Anthropologie inspired flower treasure!
I saw this Anthropolgie window display and decided to give it a go.
I am participating in the April Stash Bust over at Dollar Store Crafts and in this project used the top of a 2 liter bottle, the cap off a shampoo bottle and spray paint to create the above flower.

Step 1Rinse out the bottle and remove the label. Pinch it on one side and cut where there is a ridge all the way around the bottle.
-
Step 2Cut the approximately 1 inch wide strips all the way around the top of the bottle. To make sure it was even I cut into quarters first, then cut each quarter into 3 sections for a total of 12 "petals".
-
Step 3Press the cut pieces down to form the flower.
-
Step 4I decided I wanted my petal to be rounded, so I opened up a plastic bag and rounded the edge of each petal over the bag then put the bag in my plastic recycling bin for easy clean up.
-
Step 5Next, I opened up an old frozen pizza box and spray painted the top and allowed it to dry, then flipped it over and painted the other side.
-
Step 6For the center of the flower, I used the top off of an Axe shampoo bottle, but just about any bottle cap would do.
-
Step 7Place glue around the bottom edge of the cap and place it firmly in the center of the plastic flower and allow it to dry.
