One way we can help the environment is by reducing the amount of plastic that we use in everyday life. However, if you already have plastic in your house, here are some fun crafts to reuse those plastics!
Step 1
Gather your supplies
- Plastic bottle
- Scissors
- Tape

Step 2
Select the bottle shape you want and remove the label from the bottle using warm soap and water
Step 3
Select the color construction paper you want
Step 4
Wrap the paper around the bottle and tape it down
Step 5
If the paper doesn’t cover the whole bottle, use paint to cover the rest of it
Step 6
