You said a parent helped you by hanging it in a tree when it was completed. So what did you do as you worked on it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103981305624224643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-71482652409719311932010-10-25T08:20:34.169-07:002010-10-25T08:20:34.169-07:00We used chicken wire and created a cylinder with i...We used chicken wire and created a cylinder with it. The cylinder is about 12 inches around and 3 foot tall. The students cut off the bottoms of the bottles (I showed them how to squish the bottle at the end and use scissors to cut the bottom off), and then painted the inside with acrylic paint. When the bottles were dry, the students cut them into spirals, ending at the neck of the bottle. I placed some hot glue on the neck and mouth of the bottle and slid them into the holes in the chicken wire. The glue holds it in place. When finished, I attached wire to the top of the chicken wire, and a parent that is taller than me hung it in the tree for me.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482999815409590004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-60578247984319350502010-10-17T14:22:40.580-07:002010-10-17T14:22:40.580-07:00Wow Janet!

Do you mind sharing the details of how you put it together...a little more descriptive than what you put in your post? We have a brand new school and I would love for my students to create this for the HIGH ceilings in our library. And our librarian visited the Chihuly exhibit in FLA this summer. She is excited as well!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103981305624224643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-5837124463140809192010-10-17T14:16:21.861-07:002010-10-17T14:16:21.861-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103981305624224643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511723598897998188.post-83212910386104013922010-09-29T19:38:50.015-07:002010-09-29T19:38:50.015-07:00Janet...I love it!
