We use plastic bottles for drinking yummy drinks with...such as soda , juice, and water bottles. But they can also be recycled and upcycled to use them for different, fun purposes. Plastic bottles are sturdy enough to use to make lots of really neat things. That is why we have made this page to list some of the fun arts and crafts projects that you can do with used soda bottles. You can make pencil organizers, scenes in a bottle, flower vases, games, musical shakers, and many other things. Find out all sorts of ideas to make things with those washed out plastic bottles. Have a blast playing and crafting!
It is very easy to make a scene in a bottle. Do you wonder how to get items inside the bottle? Well all you have to do is the following. Remove the plastic bottle's label and discard it. Then Cut out an oval or rectangle shape out of the side of the plastic bottle. Then look at the piece that came off of the plastic bottle ... this is how large the scene can be. Glue a scene on cardboard ... you can find some of your miniature figurines to glue on the cardboard base. Then just glue the plastic bottle around the scene. And there you have it...a scene in a bottle.
