Bottle wall

Have you ever seen those really cool walls or fences made out of lots of colorful bottles? Well, that's what we call a bottle wall!

So, you know how we have walls in our house made out of bricks or wood? Bottle walls are like that, but instead of using bricks or wood, we use bottles.

First, someone needs to collect lots of bottles. They can use all kinds of bottles, like glass soda bottles or plastic water bottles. It's important to make sure the bottles are clean and safe to use.

Next, we need to build the wall frame. This is kind of like the bones of the wall that will hold everything up. We usually use metal or wooden pieces to make the frame.

Then, we start putting the bottles into the frame. We lay them next to each other so there are no spaces in between. We might use cement or mortar (a type of glue) to make sure the bottles stay in place.

As we build up the wall, we can add more and more bottles. This is the fun part because we can use different colored bottles to create a cool design.

Finally, when the wall is finished, we can look through it and see light shining through the different colored bottles. It's like a really pretty rainbow! And we can feel good because we are recycling old bottles and making something useful and beautiful at the same time.
