SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:
-1 water/soda bottle (800ml-1.5L)

-Hammer & Nail or Pointed Scissors
-12" piece of cotton string/yarn (or cut a thin strip of old cotton tshirt)
STEP 1 - CUT BOTTLE IN HALF:
Carefully use Scissors or Box Cutter to cut bottle into 2 pieces.
STEP 2 - MAKE A HOLE IN CAP/THREAD WICK:
1-Carefully, use a pointed object to make a hole in bottle cap.
2-Take the WICK (string) from the package & push through the hole.
STEP 3 - SET UP SELF-WATERING PLANTER:

Just hold up the string as you add soil so it can keep adding water throughout. *
Place your planter in a sunny location and add water to the base as needed!
