It’s so lovely to make something beautiful using something you were going to throw away. We love the way that recycled crafts help children understand the need to care for the world and look after the environment.
The translucent nature of plastic milk bottles make them perfect for creating these colorful stained glass effect hearts. Hung at a window the light shines through them illuminating the colors. So quick and simple to do, children will love that they’ve created something so beautiful, so easily.
How to Make a Milk Bottle Stained Glass Effect Valentine Heart

Cut out the large flat side of the milk bottle.
