Drying5 minutes
Yield: 1
Author: Melissa Haines
Cost: $2

Materials

  • Plastic Water bottles
  • Scissors
  • Fabric Paint or Washable Kid's Paint (Like Crayola)
  • paintbrushes - I like to use the sponge brushes
  • Yellow pom-poms - about 1/2 inch wide
  • low-temperature glue gun with glue sticks or fabri-tac glue
  • green straws - try to find the ones with flexible tips
  • green construction paper

Instructions

  • Cut the ends off of the water bottles and dry them completely
  • Paint the inside of the bottle ends and let dry
  • Cut some little leaf shapes out of the green paper
  • Trim your straws to the desired length and glue to the back of the bottle end - I put a dot of glue at the bump (technical term) :)
  • Turn the bottle end around and use glue to add the yellow pom-pom to the indention (middle) of the bottle bottom
  • and glue cut out leaves to the straws
