Ideia de reciclagem: Usar vasos vazios de quark ou iogurte como manga de papel para plantas

Actively protect your environment! With this upcycling project you can brighten up empty yoghurt pots and use them to give a plant as a present!

You will need the following material:

  • Connector paint box with opaque white
  • Clic & Go water cup, Brush
  • Grip graphite pencil
  • Grip felt-tip pen
  • Brown paper, Pair of scissors, Sponge, empty yoghurt pot with removable paper sleeve

Step 1

Remove the paper sleeve from the empty yoghurt pot.

Then place the detached sleeve as a template on the brown paper and draw round it with a pencil. Lengthen it a little to be sure that the sleeve overlaps slightly later.

Step 2

Now you have to use the rinsing sponge. Draw the outlines of different sized leaves on the sponge with a felt-tip pen. The shapes should not be too small otherwise it will be difficult to cut them out.

Step 3

Cut out the leaves you have drawn with a pair of scissors.

Step 4

Now, mix the opaque white with a little water in a mixing field on the Connector lid. Make sure that the mixture is creamy and not too diluted.

Then use a brush to apply the paint to one side of the leaf-shaped sponge piece, stamp the paint onto the brown paper and let the paint dry completely.

Step 5

Your attractive sleeve is almost finished! Cut it out along the pencil line and trim the ends if necessary. But make sure that they overlap a little.

Step 6

Now stick the sleeve on the plastic pot. Put several dots of glue onto the pot and press the sleeve on firmly.

Step 7

Finally, place your beautiful plant in the plastic pot.

And while you’re in the creative mood, why not make a beautiful tag with a personal message and attach it with a ribbon? A great present that’s a definite eye-catcher!
