Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

This is such a cute and practical idea! Kids will love it, and since bottles are in ample supply, I could see doing this as a classroom art project, or to give to kids as gifts from their teacher, or as a brownie Girl Scout type project! So much fun to make and to share. Thank you for this clever and inspiring idea!

Bless you and thank you for this my grandchildren will love this too . Hugs Nana Kat
