DIY Ice Cream Tub Bee Planter

DIY ice cream tub planter.

A variation of my last blog post DIY Ice Cream Tub Butterfly Planter- is its garden companion bee this time.

Things you may need:
     ice cream tub/s
     extra lids
     screw driver
     pair of scissors
     cutter
     nylon cable ties
     marker
     tie wires
     acrylic paints

Some of the things that you may need.

To make the wings:
~Take the lids assigned as wings and cut off the hard edges using a cutter. You may be surprised to find how easily it would cut through.

To make the head:
~Draw a pattern on paper and cut. Trace its outline onto a lid using a marker and cut.

Prepping the Tub:
~For proper drainage, the tub needs holes at its bottom; that's when the screw driver would come in handy and again you would be surprised to find how easily it is to poke holes through with a little force and twisting of the tool.

~Here then enters more assignment for your screw driver.

The Head:

~For the head you would need to poke four holes on the front of the tub for two cable ties to pass through, the head would need four corresponding holes too. 

Here it is with all the parts attached to the tub using nylon cable ties.

Now your planter is ready for painting, have fun with it using the colors of your choice and before planting do not forget to attach wires for hanging.
