Eco Crafty Idea: Soda Pop Greenhouse


Who knew plastic bottles could look rather cute?  With a little twine and a fun tag, I'm rather liking this little greenhouse effect.  Found via Pinterest.  Photographer not credited.

Really cool!

But "Found via Pinterest. Photographer not credited."...

:( :( :(

I think when the photographer is not credited, you should not credit the way you found the photo, like, here, Pinterest.
For the credit, the author first and the intermediary, before, if the first condition is complete... it is my opinion!

So happy that you all liked my idea. Just joined Pinterest and found out that this photo of mine is quite popular :) Naming the source is not the easiest always, no sweat! One of the joys of blogging (started 2006 so there are quite many of my ideas out there) - share the inspiration! And now I found your wonderful blog! xo, Minna :)

Lovely photo & composition Blomsterverkstad but it's not an original idea, it goes way back. For example Bob Flowerdew shows it in his Organic Bible published in 1998. I was certainly doing it since the mid 1980s and expect I got the idea from Geoff Hamilton on TV.

What if you did the same thing but used clear glass bottle, the bottoms could be vases and the tops mini cloches?
Just a thought....
