Plastic Bottle Fish Mobile

This isn’t a craft for younger children, because you need to use a serrated knife and scissors to cut plastic bottles into the body of a goldfish or tropical fish. However, I was delighted with the way it turned out and think it would be great hanging from a child’s room or decorating a tweens room.

The plastic bottle fish are very vivid and colorful and look surprisingly realistic as they swim in the air. But the thing I like the most about this recycling craft is that it gives new purpose to three plastic bottles and a CD.

Very timely for Earth Day this month!
