Water Bottle Flowers

I was doubtful about doing this craft because plastic water bottles are obviously not good for the environment. In the US alone two million tons of water bottles end up in landfills. Plastic bottles are also not good for your pocket, they cost 240-10,000 times the cost of tap water and its the exact same water! You're just paying for the bottle you're going to throw away anyway.
Even with knowing all those facts, sometimes we slip. When I forget to bring a reusable bottle to my sports games, some times I'll buy a plastic water bottle although I try not to at all costs. However, don't go buy plastic bottles for this craft, I'm begging you! This craft is to keep the plastic bottles you already have out of the landfills. Very easily,you can turn them into colorful flowers to string on tea lights. It's very fun and they look great!

You will need:
1 plastic water bottle
1 pair of scissors
3 nail polish colors (or another type of paint)

1. Cut the top off the plastic bottle

2. Cut 6 marks around the bottle until it gets two thick to cut

 3. Round edges

4. Paint flower with three colors, 1 for the petals, one for the inside of the flower and green for the stem

5. Cut a hole in the cap big enough to fit a tea light into it

6. Attach to lights and enjoy!
