Christmas Card Project # 5

Create a super-unique Holiday Wish!

Supplies:

recycled plastic 20 oz bottle

paper scraps

1. Clean plastic bottle, and pull off any labels. Cut a piece of paper to wrap around the center of the bottle. Mine measured 8 1/2" x 3 1/4". Adhere to the bottle.

2. Cut a paper scrap for an address label about 2 1/2" x 3". Adhere this to the bottle.

3. Wrap and tie ribbons around each end of the label, glue a bit to secure.

4. Create little "Ribbons" of paper by wrapping around a pencil to curl. Toss them into the bottle, along with candy and other small holiday goodies. Write your message and slip into the bottle as well.

5. Paint, draw, or decorate the outside of your bottle. Tie ribbons around the bottleneck.
