Bottle Plane

Upcycle a plastic bottle into a charming DIY Bottle Plane craft, an eco-friendly creation that’s as fun to make as it is to fly! 🛩️ Simply wrap the bottle with coloured card using Bostik Glu Tape, cut and affix wings and a propeller using the same tape, and personalize with Bostik Blu Tack® Colour to add window details or even paper passengers. Add sparkle and personality using Glitter Glue, then watch as your airplane takes off, imaginatively, of course! This project is perfect for family crafting sessions, classroom creativity, or a playful way to learn about recycling and design. With everyday materials and supportive Bostik adhesives, it’s a light, sustainable, and imaginative DIY adventure. 🌍✨

Instructions

IMPORTANT

There are no templates for this super easy project, because perfection is overrated.

Step 1: Cut and cover

Cover your bottle using coloured card and Glu Tape. To create your wings, cut a triangle. Fold the edge and attach using Glu Tape.

Cut out a propeller.

Tip

The bottle cap will secure your propeller, so make it slightly smaller than the cap so it does not slip over.

Step 2: Create your windows

Create your windows – cut and paste or use Blu Tack^® Colour. You could even model passengers waving!

Level up

Make your plane more detailed with a tail and engines.

Step 3: Fly away

Add Glitter Glue if desired, to decorate. Once you've added your details, you're done!
