Step 3Prepare dowels and skewers
Before we insert the dowels and skewers, you need to put the upright dowel in place.
Cut a 5/16" or 1/4" dowel so it is 18 inches long. Trace the bottle opening on some cardboard and cut out the resulting disc shape. Use your best judgement to cut a couple of X cuts in the center of the cardboard disc. This will act as a centering ring for the 18" dowel. Glue the bottom of the dowel down to the inside center bottom of the bottle, and glue the cardboard disc to the top of the water bottle, with the dowel coming up through it.
Cut three 1/8" dowels to be 7 1/2" long.
Cut the sharp points off of six bamboo skewers. They should be about 11" long without their points.
