I collect elephants and I have them in all shapes and sizes and made from every material you can think of, but the one kind of piggy I did not have was an elephant made from a recycled water bottle. So when I saw this gorgeous Plastic Water Bottle Elephant DIY I had to make it! I started by gathering my materials together:

Materials:

• 4 Small and 1 Large Plastic Bottles
• A Glue Gun
• A Pair Of Scissors
• Krylon Spray Paint
• White and Black Craft Paint
• A piece of flexible hose

Cut the bottom 3/4 part of your small water bottles to make legs for the elephant and glue onto the larger recycled water bottle

Then attach your flexible hose for a snout on your cute elephant

Then just paint your Elephant with Krylon Spray Paint and use your craft paint to make the Elephant as special as you want him to be by adding clever detail to his coat and features. There are no rules here, as with all DIY, you are only limited by realms of your own imagination. This has to be the cutest planter I have ever seen, I’m so happy with mine I had to make an entire elephant family for the entrance to my garden, everyone loves them, especially the grandchildren. When my grandchildren came over last week and saw these elephants as they came up the garden path, they started screaming with joy and rushed to the door, knowing that they were going to make another exciting project with Grandma.
