PET Bottle to Jewelry Box

Create your own small jewelry box from a recycled soda bottle!

Rinse and dry PET bottle

Mark a line about __ inches from the bottom, or just where the bottle's curvature begins to change. Using the utility knife, carefully cut a line around the circumference of the bottle.

Your soda bottle should have five bumps on the bottle, to maximize its stability when standing. Make a mark in between each of these bumps, indicating where your vertical cuts will be made. Using scissors, make vertical cuts down toward the base of the bottle, stopping approximately __inches from the bottom.

*Make sure your cuts are all of equal length!

Round off the hard edges at the top of your container, to protects the users' fingers when opening and closing it.

Fold over the flaps and add a bead or other indicator that your box is now closed! ...And voilá!
