How To Make A Jellyfish In A Water Bottle! DIY

How to make a jellyfish in a water bottle! This is so cool, and I will be doing this with the kids later on today! LOL

Her is what you need:
1. Scissors
2. Empty Water Bottle or 2 Liter Bottle
3. Translucent Grocery Bag
4. Water
5. Thread
6. Food Coloring

Here's what you need to do!
1. Make sure you bottle is clean and you have taken off the label. Fill the bottle with water and put a drop or 2 of food coloring in there.
2. Shake the bottle so the food coloring get evenly distributed. Now put the bottle aside so you can work on making the jellyfish.
3. Take your shopping bag and fold it flat.
4. Cut off the handle and the bottom of the bag and also cut off the area of advertising.
5. What is left will leave you with enough bag to make 2 jellyfish. (you only need one per bottle)
6. Take the center of one of the pieces of bag and make a bubble. Loosely wrap some thread around the area (don't make it too tight because you need add water and air to the bubble. Tie the thread off.
7. Turn it over, you should be able to see the hole leading to the middle of the bubble.
8. Now, you can cut the rest of the shopping bag that's hanging from the head into strips, to make them look like tentacles. Don't make more than 18 tentacles of different lengths, any more than 18 will make it too hard for the "jellyfish" to swim through the bottle!
9. Turn the jellyfish over and find the hole, and lightly blow some air into the bubble and then add some water so the head is half water and hair air.
10. Twist the head of the jellyfish tight and stuff it into the bottle and screw the cap on really tight!! You could probably even glue the cap on! Now turn the the bottle up and down and watch the jellyfish swim from the top to the bottom!!!


I will be posting pictures of the ones the kids and I make later on tonight! These pictures i found online! Enjoy and be ready for our jellyfish aquariums!
Thanks for reading everyone!

This is cool i think Mike is blind lol. When it comes to projects this one tops the list. If you have taken your kids to the aquarium before to see real jelly fish they will enjoy this home made version. Kids imaginations are truly amazing and they love arts and craft. This is a great idea and im glad you thought of it our kids will thank you. When i was growing up we never did this kind of stuff being hands on i would have loved it. I wonder how many you can put in a tank before it looks kind of weird lol!

I agree this seems not a bad idea and all the items are totally recyclable. My little cousins and nephews would love this, like they can add this to their toy house and make it as one of their pets on a aquarium. And also, it's so easy to make, so it's probably a great and less hassle thing to make.

I want to made my own jellyfish! A jellyfish that will not harm you. So cool right? This DIY craft is amazing. I never thought that I could simply do a replica of jellyfish. I will enjoy to fool my family that I caught a real jellyfish. Funny right? But I am just kidding. Anyways, this is a great idea in a way that, we have arts in school. But not every single arts will be teach to you. So finding this DIY craft is luck for me and for others who loves to create DIY crafts.

Wow, that looks cool! I was actually looking for live rock and coral for my aquarium and randomly found your post, lol. This is a great idea, I will try to make this jellyfish with my kids, thank you for sharing the detailed instructions and pictures! Well, If you have an aquarium, please share where do you buy live rock and everything for the comfort of your fish? While searching, I found this blog https://arcreef.com/live-rock/live-rock-guide/ where I learned a lot of interesting things about the live rock and its benefits for the inhabitants of the aquarium and I really want to order it. Besides, I think it looks amazing!
