Bottle top Christmas tree


Isn't it annoying how bottle tops can't be recycled like the rest of the plastics?
It just means we'll have to craft with them.

Making a bottle top Christmas tree uses 6 green milk bottle tops.



Cover the inside with PVA glue and fill them with whatever you have. The shinyer the better.
I used buttons, gems, sequins, glitter, tinsel pipe cleaner.

To make a Christmas card just stick the bottle tops on a folded piece of card and put a star at the top and something at the bottom for the base of the tree.

Kids might also like making a Christmas tree decoration by sticking the bottle tops to a thick piece of card with a hole in the top to thread string through.

  1. awesome! I've been saving all those darn unrecyclable caps for the day when I figure out what to make with them - this is a great idea :) Thank you
