DIY Snack Box

Materials:

• Two identical sized plastic bottles (12 oz soda or 16 oz water)
• Zipper about 7 inches long
• Glue gun
• Scissors or exacto knife

Directions:

• Step 1. Measure a couple of inches up from the bottom of the bottles to find where the circumference is about 6 ¼ – 6 ¾ inches. Cut both bottles at this point. TIP: You can make one larger and one smaller or make both the same size.

• Step 2. Wrap the zipper around the opening of one of the bottles to ensure that it covers the entire area and actually overlaps a bit (at least ¼ inch).

• Step 3. Use the glue gun to adhere one side of the zipper to the inside of one of the containers. Start with the top end of the zipper and overlap the bottom end of the zipper. (see photo)

• Step 4. Use the glue gun to adhere the inside of the other bottle bottom to the other side of the zipper.

• Step 5. Go around the edges and make sure that the zipper is adhered well to the bottle parts and that the parts around the ends of the zipper are especially sturdy.

• Step 6. Fill with snacks!
