Tips on how to Make a Plastic Bottle Flower

To start, you’ll make the bottom to your flower.  That begins with a thick moldable wire that’s sturdy and can maintain its form.  Create a base by curving right into a circle on one finish.

On the very finish of the hook, you’ll create a small circle for hanging the flower from later.
