Seven - DIY Watering Can

I got this great idea from one of my favorite blogs: re-nest. Here is their posting on the DIY watering can. They also show other store-bought, eco-friendly options. Nothing is more eco than up-cycling! I took my old Seventh Generation laundry detergent bottle, a drill (or something sharp*), and got to work! We do already have a watering can, but Guthrie and I are trying to be better about conserving water. In those times I need hot water from the sink, I use the watering can to catch all of the excess water as I wait for it to warm up. We store them on the shelf for when our herbs on the balcony or our house plants need a drink.

1. Clean out the empty bottle
2. Drill, baby, drill! Poke enough holes in the top
3. Poke a hole in the handle for air to escape, to make pouring faster
4. Fill with water
5. Give your green friends a drink!

*For the second one, since I had to return the drill, I used the corn-on-the-cob holders to poke holes!

Peace!
