For making these beautiful flowers you need a few small plastic water bottles, scissors, wire, paint and other simple stuff. Cut a bottle 3-cm from the top. Mark 8 equidistant lines along the periphery of the bottle. Cut along these lines to make petals. Flatten the petals. Then nip small triangles from the corners of the petals to make them look more realistic. Finally paint the petals with bright colors. Make several colorful flowers. Take a 20-cm long piece of wire and make a loop on one end. Weave the wire through the bottle lid. Press a circular rubber washer or foam in the lid to prevent the wire from coming out. Stand the stems of many flowers in paper cup filled with sand. The colorful flowers will make a pretty bouquet.
