Make a small hole at these point and insert a wire (or wooden stick) in them and run it across to the other side of the bottle and make a hole on those point too that the wire(or wooden stick) is touching. Cut the excess wire out.
  3. Make a hole at the center of the 4 bottle caps and fix them on the wire using hot glue.

  5. Take another plastic bottle and cut the bottle across up till 5 cm from the top(include the cap).
  6. Cut sides of the half bottle into fringes. Open them cut so that it looks like a flower. Make a hole at the center of the cap of this half bottle and insert a wooden stick in it. Glue it for extra support. (Make sure the wooden stick extend out of the bottle and not inside)
  7. Take another bottle cap. Make a hole at the center of it. Cut off all its sides. Insert it in the wooden stick 4cm away from the cap and glue it right there.
  8. Make a hole at the base of the bottle and fix the apparatus (of step d.) with stick placed into the bottle through the hole made. Make sure the stick only covers half of the bottle.
  9. Make a small curve at the end of the stick and tie some rubber at the end of the wooden stick . (the curve will stop the slipping away of the rubber band) tie another rubber band at the end of the tied rubber band. Pull the rubber band out of the bottle’s mouth and close the bottle using cap so that the rubber band doesn’t contract back.
