Bottle Character Book Reports
To create the bottle person, you will need a 2-liter plastic
soda bottle (without the cap), sand, dirt, or pebbles, a
Styrofoam ball (found in a craft store), and other art supplies
supplied by your parents or me.
Place a little sand, dirt, or pebbles in the bottle to weigh it
down slightly. Decorate the Styrofoam ball to be the person’s
head, cut a hole in the bottom of the ball and place on the top
of the 2-liter bottle. Use doll clothes or art supplies to
dress the bottle to be the person’s body. Cardboard can be used
for arms or can be used at the bottom for feet or shoes but this
is not necessary.
This project, like others before it, is intended to be fun and
allow you to develop your creativity. As seen from the picture
shown in class of other projects done by students before you,
some students chose to make modifications, such as using panty
hose for the head. I am open to you modifying this as you see
fit. Feel free to get help from parents, grandparents,
uncles/aunts, siblings, or even your dog!
Please turn in your project and summary together on or before

summary, will be displayed during Open House so that everyone
will be able to enjoy each other’s wonderful work on this
project.
Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions.
