Today Wow Thumbs Up is going to show a beautiful plastic bottle garden project you can make from an ordinary plastic bottle to an beautiful Concrete Swan Planter. It was from a Russia website, but cannot get the exact source now. This will look amazing in your garden or even inside house. If you love concrete garden planter, you may want to try this with 5 liter plastic bottle, chicken wire and thick wire and cement as basic supplies. Cut off one side of the plastic bottle. Fill the bottle with sand or dirt to prepare it for building the swan shape. Insert a thick wire into the bottle, through its cap. Fix it into the sand then try to shape it in the form of a swan’s neck. Cover bottle with plaster and add two rectangular metal grates on the sides for wing bases. Cover the complete figure with plaster, modeling. Take a thin layer of bandage and wrap it around the swan’s neck and head. Make realistic forms of head, neck and wings by adding more plaster and modeling. Paint the body white, and add eyes, and beak in details.
