DIY Plastic Bottle Craft

If you must buy bottled water, however, before throwing those used plastic bottles into the recycling bin, you may want to first think about ways you can reuse them.

Water bottles can also be used for school science projects. Make your own plastic bottle tornado or ocean display. You can even build and house your own ant farm inside of a plastic bottle as a hobby. A plastic bottle rain gauge makes a great tool for any scientific study on weather.

When your kids want a break from educational experiments, they can still use old bottles for arts and craft projects, such as plastic bottle animals, dolls and noise makers. Fill old liter bottles with sand, and create a miniature bowling alley in your garage or outside on your driveway.

Plastic Bottles

Kids can use the lids of plastic bottles to create cute little Christmas . Kids can first paint the bottle lids in red or green and secure a ribbon or yarn around the lid to hang. Then they can rub glue over the inside of the bottle lid and sprinkle the inside with glitter or sequins. To secure the sequins, cut out one bubble from large-size bubble wrap. Rub glue over the inside sides of the bottle lip and slide the bubble into the cap over the sequins.
