Step 12Making the Frame (attaching the bottles - Connecting Sides)
Beginning of Step 12:
Have the project flat on the ground, mouth of the bottle facing up.
Straighten out the connecting bottles that may have been flopping over.
Hold a connecting board against the floppy bottles on one side.
Screw the center screw into the center bottle like you did with the Snake Side.
Match up the wood against one side of your bottle length and hold it together with one hand. Make sure the bottom of the bottle does not extend below the wood edge.
Drill the screw all the way through the bottle. Do not attach the rest of the bottles to the board yet.
Turn the project so the Snake Sides are vertical to the ground. Match up the edges of the overlapping wood, keeping the joint flush and square. The bottles may not fit perfectly, but they are plastic and flexible, so force the corners flush. Hold the boards firmly together with one hand and, with the other hand, screw in the connecting screws.
Make the same flush connection on the other end.
Screw the end screw into the end bottle on one side. If you look into the bottle, there will be two screws in this bottle and they may cross. Do the same on the other side.
Then, screw the rest of the bottles to the board. It may be a tight fit, but force the bottles to touch the board.
Do the same thing on the on the other connecting side. Start from top: The Beginning of Step 12.
Your frame and bottles should be very sturdy.
