A simple DIY technique can transform your indoor space by transforming a recycled water jug into a stylish elevated planter for your spider plant. The trick involves cutting plastic into different sections and placing them together to create a stylish planter with a funnel. The ideal water jugs are 1 gallon size jugs from Dollar Tree or Walmart. The other supplies include a marker pen and potting soil for planting the spider plant once you are done. Tools such as a wood cutting tool like a wood burning tool with the tip for cutting plastic, or regular cutting tools like a blade and pair of scissors. Potting the spider plants in the DIY planter follows the same process as with any other store-bought planter.
