The Structure:-

Well, It looks like the same as picture one more or less... So Start by taking a bottle...Cut the part from where the bottle starts to straighten...As you can see in the picture the place is already marked...

After that you will be left with two pieces one with a cap and an other with the main body..

Place the piece with the cap upside down in the body .. As so that the Cap will be facing the bottom of the other piece....
