Aquarium Pen Holder

This pen holder has been made from the throw away plastic bottle of the packaged drinking water.

The theme of aquarium was an inspiration from the ripples on the bottle. I used some old glass painting material and fevicol (PVA glue) to make the whole pen holder.


Things you need:


Fevicol Fabric glue or Fevicol preferably the bottled ones with small nozzle.
Empty dry water bottles
Glass paint colors (Blue, green yellow, pink, red)
Scissor and cutter...
AND lots of enthusiasm and motivation..


Method:
So what i did was cut the bottle according to the height that i needed.
Using cutter first the bottle to get a long cup.
With the help of scissor follow the rippled edges (if present on the bottle) and give the brim ridges and furrows.
Now using fevicol draw outlines of swimming fishes all over the long cup, coral and grasses at the base of the bottle cup and octopus or starfish if you like along with the fishes.
Once they dry you can use the blue color glass paint to paint all around the bottle cup. Then color the grass green , the corals red and combinations of different colors for the fishes.
You will have to do one side of the bottle at a time as the glass paint may spread if you turn over the bottle. So allow the glass paint to dry and follow the whole cup similarly.
Once everything is dry your aquarium pen holder is ready.
