Despite our best efforts to green our homes, single use plastic bottles are hard to avoid, especially when it comes to our bath products. While we’re avid recyclers, nothing beats the satisfaction of turning household waste into something useful. For this project, we decided to make something for our fellow plant parents out there and turned a plastic soap bottle into a chic planter.
