Matériaux

*Empty plastic bottle

*Bottle cap of the same size as the chosen bottle

Outils

*Scissors or cutter

*Strong glue or hot glue gun

Étape 1 - Preparation of the bottles

Wash and dry plastic bottles thoroughly.

Étape 2 - Cutting

Use scissors or a cutter to cut off the neck of the bottle, to get the top part we're interested in.

...Using scissors (less dangerous than a cutter), carefully cut the limit at the neck of the bottle.

The top must fit over the cap. If necessary, cut a narrow strip around the opening to allow the lid to fit properly.


Étape 3 - Gluing

Using the glue, place the glue on the inside of the cork, and carefully place the cork at the bottom of the neck of the bottle.

Leave the glue to dry completely.



Étape 4 - Résultat final

Et voilà, vous obtenez une petite boîte que vous pouvez utiliser pour conserver les produits cosmétiques et d’autres.
