Pop Bottle Ornaments

'tis the season to be jolly right? this instructable shows how you can make an easy and affordable ornament for your Christmas tree. these ornaments can act as a lens to make your christmas tree seem to have more lights than it actually has.

these are the materials you will need

exact o knife
scissors
bottle (preferably a pop bottle)
needle-nosed pliers
Drill
3/16 drill bit
wire (you cam get this off of any dollar store note book)

for this step you first must stab yes "STAB" the bottom part of the bottle to get the basic shape down. after you "stab" the bottle cut all around the bottle. get rid of the top 3/4's of the bottle *throws bottle*

now with the scissors you must cut it down towards the bottom. however you can only cut to a certain spot (that is why it is recommended to use a pop bottle). at that point you are able to do some tweaking

this step is when you make it your own. you can make it look like anything. i just did the basic to show you.

in any part of the edges drill a hole with the 3/16 bit. that is the hole that the wire will go through.

in this step you take the needle nose pliers, and the wire and you put the pliers at the end of the wire and your fingers where the coil begins. Then slide you finger down the wire for a flat and straight wire.than after you straighten the wire you cut it to the length you want.

after cutting the wire you tie it through the hole that you drilled. then make a hook.

and your done... now all you have to do is put it on your tree in front of a light and away you go.
