Squeeze a small amount of paint into dish. Dip sponge into paint making sure surface is covered. Dab sponge randomly inside pop bottle. It is best to start near the eye and work your way out. LET DRY! Repeat this step for the next two colours. When dry, fold together about half way from opening. Trace template (bottom of page) onto the folded part with a marker. Cut out along lines carefully. |

Thread needle with fishing line and knot so there is a double line. Tie a button to one end of line and poke needle through bottle from the inside out. The button should be inside the bottle. Cut at the top of double line, remove needle, thread each piece of fishing line through the holes in another button, tie securely close to bottle. Tie ends to a clothes peg. |
