Step 2Mark and cut holes in bottle
Bamboo skewers will be used for the basket framework, and 1/8" dowels will be used for the tripod base. We first need to make some incisions in the bottle where these sticks will be inserted.
The bottle I used has six panels on the sides with two little bumps in each panel. If you use the same type of bottle, you can mark your bottle exactly as shown and get the same results as I did. Otherwise you'll have to measure and lay out where you want the cuts on your particular bottle.
The two photos of the bottle with milk in it show where to make your marks for the incisions where the skewers and dowels will be inserted. (The milk is only there so the markings will show up better in the photos.)
The purple marks indicate where the bamboo skewers will go for the basket, and the red marks indicate where the dowels will go for the tripod.
The purple marks should be in the same locations on all six panels. The red marks should be marked differently on adjacent panels. Make small "X" cuts with a sharp blade in each of the marked locations.
