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!
