It's been a long time coming...I have slacked quite a bit on posting on my blog. But thanks to summer time, I have a lot to post about so you might see more of me in a big chunk!! The kids are always looking for something new and exciting to do, and well I am cheap on that aspect! I love to make things and save some money...honey!! So, our thrill this week was JET PACKS!! Yes...jet packs! I absolutely LOVE Pinterest and when I saw
these, I had to make them for my boys! I followed her directions to the T - and here's pictures of what I did! ENJOY!!
Now here are the pictures of what I did to make these FANTASTIC jet packs!!
The first thing I did was to paint the coke bottles with the Krylon Fusion paint, let it dry. This took like 5 minutes. You need this to make the silver paint stick. Then pain the bottles with the silver spray, I did 2 coats.
While the bottles were drying with silver paint, I cut out cardboard to make the backs for the bottles to stick to. Then I glued the bottles to the cardboard. By the way, DON'T USE A HOT GLUE GUN! I did this and it started to melt the bottle! I used some Gorilla Glue, but you could use super glue or other type of strong adhesive. Then I added the straps using silver duck tape and then put streamers on the bottom. What I found that helped hold the streamers in was to use the cap that came with the bottle and screw the cap back on after putting the streamers in the bottle. So here you go...something fun for the kiddos and it sure makes for some SUPER FUN that will last for hours!!!
