The Bottle

The first thing you will need to do is the bottle in half. After, cut the small end were the cap is. Then, cut the end of the bottle off that is used to stand it up. Finally, cut a hole on the side of it.

The Bark(or Rock)

The next step is to draw bark shapes or rock shapes into your styrofoam. Then, cut along your lines.

Put All Together

After the pieces are cut apply them to your bottle. This is the part were you can use your imagination.. Be sure to leave one inch of clearance on each side of the hide because this hide will be buried.

Instalation

Then, put one layer of foil on the inside of the cave.

The Texture

Finally, you are going to buy tile grout. A seven pound bag of tile grout only cost $9.00, very cheap if you're willing to go the distance. You will want the mixture to feal mix mustard when you stur it. Apply at least 3 outside and 2 coats to the inside.

You're Finished!!!

The large opening on the front of the hide is set against the glass so you can see inside.
