use. Have the two lines at least 1/2 inch apart. Place the clear plastic shape over the two lines.
3. Use the craft knife to make slits in the plastic, using the drawn lines as

4. Slip the chopstick or craft stick through the slits to
create the holder. Adjust the slit if needed. Remove the stick for now.

We’ll keep with the Earth Month theme and upcycle some plastic containers. I used that big plastic one that comes full of yummy croissants, but you can use 2-liter soda bottles, bento containers or whatever you have.
You can do different versions by laminating a picture of what the grown plant should look like, or even plant care instructions if it’s a gift. Happy gardening and happy crafting!
