this is a different view of the totem with more of the sun catcher I made with cola ends.They are more in the shape of petals and are always shiny when its sunny. |

| I have been saving 'ends' for about a month to do something like this. Don't have quite enough yet. Don't use many plastic bottles-- |

| I really like this...so do you just cut the bottom off of the soda bottle with scissors??? Instructions please!! I love shiny things and this sure looks like it would fit the bill. My daughter says that I must have been a magpie in a previous life! ;-) |

| Now that is something I haven't seen before, soooooooo cleaver and really pretty. Syble |

| you can use either scissors or a knife which ever is best for you.I also put bells on the ends to get a 'tingle' of them when the wind blows. |

| Wow! That is so clever! When I first saw the picture, I thought it was glass! Thanks for the idea! |

| I take my bottles to the bandsaw and cut off the bottom. Aren't bandsaws wonderful for a lot of things-LOL! Then I have been just putting them in a plastic bag until I get enough to make something. I have only cut one into a flower, with scissors, to see what I could do with it. They are easy to do. |

| Very pretty! That's a great idea. If you can cut the top off without messing it up too much you could make something with the top too. They would be a nice bell shape. |
