How do I make a snowman out o a plastic 2 litre Coke bottle?
There are several ways you can do this craft to make a cute snowman out of a coke bottle.
First - You will cut off the top and bottom of the bottle. Now paint these with white paint. The top of the bottle is going to be your hat and the bottom is your face. Use the neck of the bottle to paint it red for the hat. Paint the bottom of the bottle white and add the nose, eyes, and mouth. Now sit the top on the bottom. You can use this to add candy to the inside of the snowman. This makes a snowman candy dish you can use for the holidays.
Other ways are to paint the top of the bottle with red paint for the hat. Now use the bottom of the bottle and paint it all white. You will need to separate this area into three sections so you can add the face and the buttons to the snowman. Decorate this with a scarf and it is done.
This kit includes everything the receiver needs to enjoy an evening of Stress Relief. And the trick is seeing how to get the goodies out of the inside.
Create a quick pattern from an old business size envelope if you need one, level out the side. (I rounded my corners a little bit). Cut out the circle for the doorknob and you're done.
Make do with the abundance of garbage we consumers produce in our own homes, using empties and scissors or a craft knife. All eight shows are FREE until decorations are added.
Turn your bowl upside down. Place your container next to it and make sure this is the proper height you need your container. Take a pencil and roll the container around holding the pencil still in place while marking your area.
Does anyone have any craft ideas on what to do with empty disposable water bottles? We use so many during the week and I hate to just throw them away.
if u like to gardening ,u can use them to start your seeds in,just cut almost in half leave one side attached and put drainage holes in the bottom, add your soul then some water and then your seeds ,
I re-use my water bottles. I drink Nescafe Iced Java coffee in the morning (coffee syrup mixed with cold milk). I put the Java in the bottle, then the milk, return the cap and shake. It is the ONLY way I don't end up spilling coffee all over myself when I'm drinking my coffee in the car!
I also use the water bottles as paintbrush washing stations. Cut them in half and put water in them for paintbrush clean up. Use them for pencil cups the same way.
Here in "Hurricane world" we also fill them & keep them in the freezer so if we lose power during a hurricane we have water on hand for washing, the dog's bowl, etc.
I have made toys for kids with these water bottles.
I taught headstart (pre-K) for 6 years and we made many things with them.
*A Tornado in a bottle: fill bottle 2/3 full of water, a drop or two of dish washing liquid, a table spoon of sand, small bits of aluminim foil. Put the lid on tight so the kids can't open and drink it. Twirl the bottle and a tornado will appear. You need to practice the twirling to get it right.
*Ocean in a bottle: fill the bottle 2/3 with water and a few drops of blue food coloring, 1/3 vegetable oil, and small sea shells. Kids love this. The oil and water will not mix and when shaken a bit it looks like waves.
Glue them together with silicone glue and form them in a circle. When spring comes you will have Walls of Water to put out around your seedlings to keep them warm.
Those bottles are recyclable-don't throw them out. I buy my drinking/cooking water by the gallon, and refill my bottles. The gallon jugs are also recyclable. I buy/refill my gallon jugs at the grocery store for 39¢ per gallon. As a single person, I get 4-5 gallons @ a time. When I get home, I put one gallon in the fridge, fill bottles with another gallon and put those in the fridge. I take one gallon to work- Then put the rest of the gallons in a cupboard, or the pantry. This saves me alot of $.
