These colourful spirals look amazing spinning in the garden and the kids will love decorating them, make some today!

What you’ll need:

Permanent markers
Old plastic water bottles
Scissors
Stanley knife

Method:

Remove all labels and the lid from your bottle.
Colour your bottle.
Using the stanley knife, pierce a hole near the bottom of your bottle.
From this hole, cut around the bottle to create a spiral.
Hang your bottle outside using string or wood.

We have these outside at kinder and they look fabulous spinning around in the wind. This is a great fun craft for the kids.

Creative way to keep those pesky butterflies off the vegetable garden as well as looking pretty.
