W 7 - Recipe for Jellyfish

Ingredients

a 2L Coke bottle,
plastic fishing line,
a button,
some sort of furry and sticky industrial off-cut (I'm sure that sticky tape would be fine)
shredded paper
scissors
a hammer
a nail
something to hammer into
a tiny cololured LED torch

Instructions
1. Cut the bottle into thirds.
2. Hammer a hole into the lid and replace on top third of bottle.
3. Hammer a hole into the centre of the bottom third of the bottle.
4. Cut a length of fishing line.
5. Thread it through one hole in the button and pull it out the other so the line length is halved.
6. Thread line and button up through top third of bottle and through the hole in the lid.
7. Turn bottom third of bottle up-side-down and thread line up through the hole in the centre.
8. Cut 2 lengths of the furry sticky industrial offcut long enough to go around the bottle.
9. To one piece stick pieces of shreded paper (the tentacles) and when you reckon there's enough, stick the tape around the bottom-most edge (the top third of the bottle).
10. Stick the other piece of tape around the remaining edge (the inverted bottom third of the bottle).
11. Tie a know in the end of the fishing line.
12. Stick an LED torch on the fishing line aimed doen at the jellyfish and switch it on.
13. Hang it up and draw the curtains.

In this version I used glass paint to change the colour of the plastic and a white LED torch. I also used part of the centre third of the bottle to form a cylinder that fits into the inside of the construction. Provided its the longest part, sticking paper to this cylinder gives a second layer of much longer tentacles.
