From a throwaway plastic bottle you can make a very lovely spinner. You will need an old plastic bottle, tape, scissors and a marker. Cut the base of the bottle and draw a 5-pointed star pattern with a marker pen. The pattern will look like a 5-petal flower. Cut the petals with scissors. Then twist each petal such that it curves and becomes a fan blade. The bottle base has a natural pip – which acts like a wonderful pivot. Blow from the top and the plastic flower will spin beautifully. Decorate your spinner with color tape to make it look beautiful.
