Water Bottle Wreath

Water bottles are something that everyone has in their house.  When we are done with them we just throw them away.  I saw an Anthropologie window display made out of water bottle flowers.  I have been dwelling on what to do with these wonderful water bottle flowers and it turned out I needed a new Spring wreath for my front door.  Here are the instructions. Have fun and be creative.
Here's the end product:

Here's How:[anthroflower1.jpg]
After I cut mine I sprayed them with pink and yellow spray paint.

    What type of paint did you use for these? I had about 40 water bottles cut up and bent but could not, for the life of me, find a good paint to use so they ended up trashed. :( It is still a goal of mine to make a wall display from these!!

    Tami,
    I cut out a cardboard ring, and hot glued the spray painted bottles to the cardboard.

    Wow! Colorful, practical and very creative wreath, eh. Love the idea of this water bottle that instead of throwing this to waste, you rather make the most out of it. Lovely craft.
