| Instead of throwing away the shoes you’ve outgrown, use them as pots for plants. It's a great gift to give to the eco-conscious people in your life.
YOU WILL NEED
- Seedlings
- Old shoes (sneakers or closed-toed shoes work best)
- Potting soil
- Drill
HERE'S HOW
With the help of an adult, drill two small holes into the soles of the old shoes for draining. Fill up shoe with potting soil. Place seedlings into soil. Top off shoe with more soil. Water your plant.
NOTE: Make sure you consider light conditions when selecting plants.
