Recycled Bottle Hearts

Here is a small tutorial on how to make plastic bottle hearts. I made a necklace I'd like to wear on Valentines Day.

  • Cut of the bottom half of a coke bottle (or a water bottle) and spray paint it pink (or any other color.)
  • I sprinkled the drying bottle with clear sprinkles for some sparkle.
  • Cut out a large square from the bottle once its dry.

  • Draw a heart and cut it out.
  • Cut lots of little ones too.

  •  Using a burn tool, or a heated needle poke a hole through the top center of each heart.
  • Take a blow dryer and heat the hearts up while holding them down with a pencil or a weight. This makes them curve out a little.
  • Grab some pink string and knot through the big heart.

  •  Make a knot at equal intervals on both sides of the yarn and slide on the little hearts.
  • Make more knots and slide on more hearts!
