Propagating Plants Inside a Christmas Ornament Bulb - finished project Make these cute and inexpensive ornament bulb propagation planters to give as gifts or simply to decorate your desk, bathroom, or home.

*I highly recommend using plastic shatterproof ornaments.

Realistically if you have any plants at home you can cut to put into this planter (I am using pothos - they are an extremely easy plant to propagate and care for). Next you will need is hot glue/super glue you can make this project for little to no money if you have the supplies already from home.

If not this project is still reasonably priced to make:

- 25 ornaments ($11.99): https://www.michaels.com/25ct.-3in-plastic-iridescent-clear-ball-ornaments-by-artminds/10639161.html
