I got the most wonderful idea to recycle does soda bottles
you might have just finished. Instead of throwing them out why don’t you make a
cute little leprechaun cauldron with a pot full of gold. We all love finding
gold at the end of the rainbow especially when it has chocolate coins. It’s a fast
and easy craft that you can do with kids and they will love finding out the
coins are not what they seem.
I cut the plastic bottles in half. Let me tell you that it
does take some muscle to cut them but it was easy while using my new scissor
from friskars . They will cut threw almost
anything very easy.
Then I stray a light coat of black primer on the bottles
before applying a black acrylic coat. Acrylic paint won’t stay on the plastic
bottle by itself so applying a coat of primer helps keep the paint on the
bottle.
After that I went ahead and made a belt out of felt for the
top of the plastic bottle and I wrapped it around.
Once that was completed I just needed to add the magic gold
coins and the project is complete for Saint Patrick day. The funny thing is I
usually don’t celebrate Saint Patrick’s day but since I got little kiddos
holidays seem to be more important. Life seems to change a lot once you have
children and I think is for the best. How do you celebrate your Saint Patrick’s
day?
Stay crafty,
