How to recycle the “pizza box”?

The user is the author of this wonderful idea, which teaches us how to recycle pizza boxes and deodorant caps.
The first step in this craft is to paint the pizza box and deodorant caps with the colour of paint you prefer. We recommend choosing a light colour, as if you want to add colourful details or a decoupage napkin, the result will be cleaner and neater.
As for how to paint the pieces, it is best to apply a first coat with a paintbrush, and then give it a second coat with an old sponge to give it a textured finish.
Once you have decorated the pieces to your liking, the next step is to apply a good coat of varnish to protect them. Use a piece of wire to make small holes in the base, which will allow the plant pot to drain properly when watered.
Next, attach each deodorant cap to the “pizza thing”, which will act as a pot stand. You can use all-purpose glue or silicone.
The next step is to fill the pot with soil and a succulent or the seeds of your preferred plant. Remember that this is a small space, so you should choose a species that does not have large roots.
