Upcycled Auto-Watering Garden Aliens

These little guys are sure to abduct your heart.  They're simply out of this world!

These aliens work just like watering globes such as aquaglobes, but they can be made from recycled green glass bottles!

They are perfect for smaller container plants such as herbs or flowers, and excellent indoors and out!

Did I mention they are easier to fill than normal garden globes?  Yippee!

Here is What You Will Need:

Glass Sprite Bottle (other green glass bottles would work, but glass sprite bottles have the most alien-y shape and color)
Black Glass Paint (I used Martha Stewart Metallic Glass Paint in black nickel)
Small Tray for Paint
Sturdy Foam Brush
Contact Paper 
X-Acto Knife or Silhouette cutter
Loaf pan
Tray to keep bottles from rolling around (I used an old silverware tray)
