A Simple Keyboard in a Bottle Decoration

Step 3Finishing Up

Finishing Up
In this step we'll pop the keys into the bottle, pop in the cork and hopefully won't need to go to the hospital.

WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances stick your finger into the bottle when pushing in the keys! You might get it stuck there and when working with glass tubes it's never a good thing to have your finger stuck in one of them. If your keys get stuck, just push them in with the handle of your screwdriver or any other object.
If you DO get your finger stuck you might want to call the local health department straightaway for a consultation. Luckily i've never been in this situation, but god knows what might happen.

1) This part is as simple as it gets - just drop the keys into your bottle (make sure you stuff them in the most efficient way, meaning, don't shub them sideways). If they get stuck just encourage them with a friendly poke using your screwdrivers handle.

2) After all the buttons are in fill the bottle with water (i prefer cold water). Leave a few centimeters or an inch of the neck unfilled.

3) Adding the cork is really simple. Just place the cork in the neck (if one of the sides is still not damaged by the corkscrew when opening make sure it faces up) and slowly but surely slide it downwards with force. If half of the cork is still not in and you can't force it in more CAREFULLY and gently tap it with a mallet or your hand until it's in as much as you want it to be. It's natural for the cork to "bleed" water at this time, that happens because of pressure.
