Making a Scene in a Plastic Bottle

 

Make Dad a Scene in a Bottle

It is very easy to make a scene in a bottle. Do you wonder how to get items inside the bottle? Well all you have to do is the following. Remove the plastic bottle's label and discard it. Then Cut out an oval or rectangle shape out of the side of the plastic bottle. Then look at the piece that came off of the plastic bottle ... this is how large the scene can be. Glue a scene on cardboard ... you can find some of your miniature figurines to glue on the cardboard base. Then just glue the plastic bottle around the scene. And there you have it...a scene in a bottle.
