Recycled Bottle Decorations
This is a simple and inexpensive craft that children will love to do.
What you need:
A plastic bottle. Green, black and white paint. Paper, felt tips and
items to decorate your tree. LED tea light.
How to:
Cut the bottle in half.
Wash and dry the two halves.
Paint the top half green for the tree.
Paint the bottom half black with a white belly for the penguin
Leave to dry and then give another coat and leave to dry.
Decorate your tree and place it over an LED light. You can also
decorate with sweets if you desire.
For the penguin, cut out some eyes and a beak and glue in place. For
the top I used the template for the cupcake holder.
The penguin can be used to hold an LED tea light or hold sweets. You
can place a piece of cardboard in the top of the head if you wish to
give as a gift, you can then add sweets, money or any small gift.
