Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the milk bottle thoroughly and remove any labels.
2. Cut the bottle in half, or cut a hole at the top to create an opening for the plants.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine gypsum powder with water according to the package instructions to create a thick paste.
4. Apply the gypsum mixture evenly over the exterior of the bottle, using your hands or a spatula to create texture.
5. Allow the gypsum to dry completely, which may take a few hours.
6. Once dry, you can paint the gypsum layer if desired, and apply a sealant for durability.
7. Drill two small holes near the top of the bottle for hanging.
8. Cut the rope or chain to your desired length and attach it to the holes.
9. Fill the pot with soil and your chosen plants, then hang it up to enjoy your new creation!
