Beautiful plastic bottles__100ml 150ml 300ml volume transparent plastic bottles

Imagine turning a plastic water bottle into a colorful flower. Better yet, turning a bunch of water bottles into a bouquet of blossoms! Nope, it’s not magic, just a fun craft project, perfect for a summer day.

　　  The idea comes from a public art project going on this summer at ­Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Southern Maryland. Artist Dale Wayne says the goal of her project, called “Dancing on Joy’s Horizon,” is to create a forest of trees made from bottles. Why? Because Wayne says that part of her work is about transforming trash into art. She also puts a twist to an African tradition of hanging colorful bottles in trees to capture evil spirits. In her view, decorated, cut, plastic-bottle blossoms symbolize a peaceful place where all spirits are free.
