Cut the Bottle

First thing you gonna do is cut the bottle in to two pieces like shown ( you can remove the label if you want). The bigger piece with the cap will be the body of the cannon.

Making the Wheels

Put some putty in to the holes of each wheel, this will make it stronger. Than push the bamboo stick in wheels, you should end up whit a nice little "weight".

The Finish Product

Lets join the wheels and the body together with some putty. Unscrew the cap join a blowing device to the cannon, put some confetti or pieces of newspaper in it and SHOOT.
