What are you doing right now? Eating tacos? Drinking a margarita? I HOPE you picked up the ingredients to make those rockin’ pulled chicken + pineapple salsa tacos. Seriously. It’s #TacoTuesday and you earned it.
Oh and pro tip: the pulled chicken + pineapple salsa are AH-MAZING additions to jazz up a Caesar salad. Buh bye, sad desk lunch. Now that we’ve got your dinner + tomorrow’s lunch plans all set, let’s get our DIY on.
IZZE challenged me to upcycle one of their pop bottles (yes, I say pop) and originally, I thought about filling them with bright, colorful candy like jelly beans and M+Ms or creating designs using Washi tape.
But with tacos on the brain, it hit me that an IZZE bottle kinda looked like a…
CACTUS!

Let’s get this fiesta started, people!! All you need to create a DIY cactus is an empty IZZE bottle, construction paper, scissors and tape. And BA-BAM you’ve got one schnazzy centerpiece for your Cinco de Mayo party!
Still thinking about those candies? Green M+Ms or jelly beans can easily replace the crinkled paper.
I’m just sayin’…
Supplies
IZZE pop bottles (Remove the label, let soak in warm, soapy water to loosen the label glue. Goo-B-Gone also removes the glue)
Scissors
Green + pink construction paper (at least 3 green pieces)
Tape
Directions
Cut the green construction paper in thin horizontal strips and fold back and forth to create a crinkled look. Fill the empty bottle with the paper shreds.
Freehand the cactus “arms” and be sure to leave a little extra length at the arm’s base, you’ll fold this and tape it to the bottle to secure the arm.
Freehand flowers and tape to the cactus “arms.”
