After the bottle bottoms craft, it is the turn of the bottle tops, which we couldn’t possibly discard. Initially I was going to pile them up and make a miniature Christmas tree, but when I cut them in a zigzag pattern I found they were too sharp and I didn’t like the idea of something potentially harmful. I folded the spikes inwards and they started to take an interesting shape and in my head they were already hanging decorations, so I decorated a couple with glue and glitter and they did indeed look quite good. I made more and I liked them all in a line, that’s when I decided to use them as Christmas luminaries.

I cut a hole on the bottle cups to insert the fairy lights, the hole needs to barely large enough to let the light through but tight enough to hold it in. I decorated the caps with glue and glitter and left them to dry.

In the end I inserted the lights in the bottle caps and screwed the decorated bottle tops on to each plastic cap.
