Filipino Creativity: Artificial Flower Plants Made Of Plastic Bottles Outside Unitop | Butuan City, Philippines

>> Friday, May 15, 2009



Pink Flowers Made Of Drinking StrawsWhile strolling near Unitop (a store that sells almost all made in China merchandised) in Butuan City, this group of street vendors (Butuanons) caught my attention especially on what they were selling. My dad immediately told me to capture on video the actual cutting, melting, molding of this very unique Pinoy Creativity.

Plastic Liter Bottle Plant Decor VendorsIt's a hand-made plastic plant decor which they made using used 1.5-2 Liter Softdrink bottles with colors Blue and Green (from Coca-cola/Pepsi and Sprite/7-up bottles). The colored petals were also made of soft drink straws.

Flower Decor Made Of Green Plastic BottlesWe were amazed with their creativity that we bought one Blue Plant Decor which cost us Php 20.00 or $0.4 only! But can you believe it? A single used plastic bottle that usually has no cost (when sold in the Junk shop) now costs Php 20.00 with just an IDEA, PATIENCE and CREATIVITY. It sure is one of the Best Buys when you're in Butuan City! Let us also help promote and patronize our own Filipino-made products.



P.S.
A man carrying a pail full of skinned frogs also asked me if I would like to buy his stuff. They said it tastes good but we're not yet ready for it. Maybe next time =).
