You need a single size(500 ml, 17 oz.) plastic bottle with straight side panels. A picture is worth a thousand words and this website has an excellent picture tutorial of this craft. You need a sharp box cutter or exacto knife and you need to poke or drill a hole in the cap and bottom. You'll also need a wire coat hanger or other bendable wire. The rest is pretty much self explanatory. Don't forget to decorate it, too. Follow the link below and get started today. Since it's a recycled craft, it's also great for Earth Day.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/gardening123.blog38.fc2.com\/blog-entry-576.html\"\u003Egardening 123\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/tangrila.blogspot.com\/feeds\/4942384941465515622\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/tangrila.blogspot.com\/2012\/08\/plastic-bottle-pinwheel-toy-craft-2.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5716266728180937515\/posts\/default\/4942384941465515622"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5716266728180937515\/posts\/default\/4942384941465515622"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/tangrila.blogspot.com\/2012\/08\/plastic-bottle-pinwheel-toy-craft-2.html","title":"Plastic Bottle Pinwheel Toy Craft 2"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/blank.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716266728180937515.post-3761513989511297574"},"published":{"$t":"2012-08-09T09:05:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2012-11-14T01:42:35.068-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"bottle"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Earth Day"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Japanese crafts"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"recycled crafts"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"science"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"summer"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"toy"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Recycled Plastic Bottle Pinwheel Toy Craft"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/blog-imgs-29-origin.fc2.com\/t\/o\/m\/tomononekko\/20100110222658243.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"http:\/\/blog-imgs-29-origin.fc2.com\/t\/o\/m\/tomononekko\/20100110222658243.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis recycled plastic drink bottle pinwheel craft idea comes from a Japanese website.
