Garden Hedgehog using plastic bottles

Hedgehog are cute little animals. Ain't it lovely if you could have one in your garden?

I made mine using unwanted plastic bottles and they look fantastic in my garden!

Ingredients:
Large plastic bottles
A few cactus plants
Soil
Scissors
Two googly eyes

Step by step:
1. Cut open a rectangular hole on the body of the bottle. This is where the cactus plants sits as if its the prickles of the hedgehog.

2. Cut a few small holes at the bottom of the base to allow drainage. Cactus are tough plants and do not require too much moisture.

3. Stuff in some soil to fill the bottle. Leave out some space so you could transfer on the cactus into the bottle.

4. Transfer the cactus plants into the bottle. I bought mine from Wilkinsons. They do mini cactus plants, 3 for £4 or £2 for big ones. Becareful of the cactus as they prick. You might want to wear gloves for this. Cover the gaps with soil.

5. Once done, stick on the two googly eyes near the opening of the bottle. Tadaah you get yourself a garden hedgehog!
