Make a Pop Bottle Greenhouse

     So, today I really wanna share what I think is the most awesome project for anyone who wants a greenhouse but, needs a more inexpensive way to do it. It is a greenhouse made of recycled 2 liter pop bottles! As my aunt was telling me about this idea the other day I thought to myself , "no way totally, won't work" but after a quick goolge search on the subject I found out I was wrong. You Can Build a Greenhouse out of 2 liter Bottles!!
     Okay, bring the excitement down a notch..for a 8'x8' greenhouse you will need approximately 2,000 2 liter bottles...no that's not a typo..lol and you still will need wood for the frame and some wire to help secure the bottles. Still, I believe this is a remarkable idea! Recycling at it's best! Definitly a project I want to do myself. However, it is a big undertaking and with the busy home life, time is not always on my side. So, instead of making you wait until October (lol) for me to finish making my own greenhouse out of 2 liter bottles, I thought I would share the link of how to do it instead.
 
So, here's the link to the instructions on how to make a greenhouse out of 2 liter bottles...

This one has held up well to the weather for 4 years!

Side Notes: You could get creative with this a little too! You could build a smaller greenhouse for a child to practice gardening, which would use less bottles, and be a great learning experience for them. I have considered making one just to be a gardening shed, by changing the pattern a little maybe this idea could be used to make a sun room or the roof to a gazebo...who knows!

Have a Great Day Everybody!
