Hand-made bottle clothes

You can make fish lanterns by hand with mineral water bottles. Perform the following steps.

Figure 1: There are three or four large beverage bottles or mineral water bottles. I use the bottles from Yuan Qi Forest. I found a plastic box with fruit to cut my tail.

Figure 2: Fish head, cut into three arc triangles on average, with similar size. Then remove the rotating part of the bottle cap, which is hard. I saw it off with a small saw blade, so I cut my hand carefully.

Figure 3: Toilet paper sticks to every part of the mineral water bottle. The paper is large and can be wrapped. I use white latex mixed with water, which is about 1: 1. Drinking more water is better than drinking less. If it is too little, the paper will become transparent after drying. If I don't think the first layer is good, I will air it and then put on another layer. Mine is three layers of drawing paper, so I'll stick one layer.

Figure 4. Figure 5: Draw lines with a pencil before painting. I draw with a marker. I can draw any picture at will. I made two tails, and the first one was not satisfactory.

Figure 6: I use thread or put each part. No suitable wires were found at home. I used a paper clip. When punching, pay attention to the position of each part first, and punch the tail vertically.

The rods and fins are bonded with hot melt glue gun.

Such a beautiful fish lamp is ready.
