Plastic Bottle Bee

Make a cool Bee decorative model out of an old plastic bottle!

Step 1: Stuff you'll need

1)old plastic bottle.. i used a gatorade bottle coz it was all i had left in the house this week :) you can use any 500ml bottle(works best with smal bottles)

2)scissors

3)paint as required. i used acrylics, but you can use enamel or a spray can

Okay, that is both awesome and original. I am normally not a fan of the craftsy style instructables, but this is cute and simple to do... it looks like it would be a fun project to do with your kids or nieces and nephews.

One thing I forgot to mention, you could probably sell these at craft fairs.
