3 Things You Can Do With A F&N Bottle

I am a mother of an active toddler, so I am always thinking of ways to entertain her. Art & craft is often the best activity we can do together because it unleashes the creativity of my daughter, and it’s loads of fun!  Plus, the in-thing now is recycling and reusing, isn’t it?

You’ll be amazed at how simple things (that are free or very cheap!) can be used as materials in our Art & Craft sessions. Today, let me share with you 3 things you can do with an F&N Bottle! (Try at your own risk! =P)

1) Make it into a sling bag!

Finish up your F&N Sparkling Drink, wash & wipe clean. Then, use a pair of scissors & cut out according to illustration below.

Punch 2 holes at each side & put a string through them to form a sling. Decorate the sling bag as creatively as you can! Fashion statement made!

2) Turn it into a practical vase!

This is as simple as it gets and most practical of all!

You can have pretty vases everywhere in the house. Best of all, it’s FREE!

Simple & easy, isn’t it?? =D

3) Make your own star garland!

This might require some artistic talents, so if you are lousy in that area, I advise you not to try this. :)

This basically involves using the bottom part of the bottles. Cut off about 10cm from the bottom of the bottle, cut off the star shape you like, press it flat and you get a lovely star!

Chain them up like the following picture and you get a nice star garland! This works best as a party decoration because it’s lightweight to hang up, sways as the wind blows and can be easily thrown away or deposited into the recycling bins after the party!

Hope you are inspired by my 3 suggestions! After enjoying your favorite F&N Sparkling drinks, this is a good way to pump up your creativity and recycle the bottles in practical ways!

HAVE FUN, EVERYONE! =D
