Water Bottle Wind Spirals

You'll love the way these bounce and bob in the wind. The sunlight shining through the bands of colour looks so lovely.

Water Bottle Wind Spirals

Materials:
Plastic water bottles
Permanent markers in various colors
Scissors

Instructions:
Remove the lids and labels from your bottles and give them a quick wash.

Make sure bottles are thoroughly dry inside and out.

Once the bottles are dry, color them. Permanent markers are a must for this step.  Washable ink will not adhere to the plastic. Be sure to use a variety of colors on each bottle. 

When the coloring is complete, use scissors to remove the flat bottom of the bottle and discard.

Starting at the cut edge, snip around and around, from the bottom of the bottle to the top, to create a spiral. Stop cutting when you get to the smooth, rounded “shoulders” of the bottle.

When all of your spirals have been cut, head out to the yard and find a slender tree branch to hang them from.

Slide the neck of the bottles onto the branch and nest the bottle tops together by tucking each one into the one before it.
