DIY Self-Watering Planter

This tutorial will explain how to make a self-watering planter for your home using old wine bottles. Note, you'll need to cut wine bottles to recreate this project like you see above, here's my bottle cutting tutorial here. You could also use plastic bottles and cut with scissors using the same method.

You'll need:

A plant

String

Pebbles

Rocks

Two wine bottles (cut)

Tips:  Use the pebbles to keep the string in place and the dirt from falling through. Play around with different size pebbles and rocks and find a size that works best for you. The string wicks the water up into the soil to keep things happy and hydrated!

 

I love this because the glass is colorful and everything is made from common household items. 

Good luck making yours!
