5 Screw the lid tightly onto the bottle. Now place it on its
side and allow the contents to settle. You should end up
with your very own seaside scene!

6 Now make a tag for your bottle. Using scissors, cut out a
small rectangular shape from the card. Then use a hole
punch to make a hole at one end. We stained ours with
tea to make it look old.

7 Using a fine line pen, write a message such as ‘My Seaside


in a bottle’ onto the tag.

8 Thread a length of ribbon or string round the neck of the


bottle and tie the tag on to it.
