air cannon

[Experiment] An air gun?! I tried making a PET-bottle air cannon! [Craft]

We’re going to make an “air cannon” using a balloon and a plastic bottle.

First, cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle.

You won’t need the piece you cut off.

Cut the balloon in half and use the half without the mouthpiece.

Stretch that part of the balloon over the bottom of the plastic bottle and secure it.

Make a handle for the bottle—imagining a hair dryer shape makes it easier to design.

When you pull and release the balloon, air shoots out.

Try experimenting to make the air stronger and come up with your own improvements to create an awesome air cannon!

Soap bubbles made with a plastic bottle

Classic Medley 2019 – Pianica Magician

You can play without blowing! Enjoy soap bubbles using a plastic bottle.

The key is to prepare a soft plastic bottle that dents with a squeeze.

Cut a hole in the cap with scissors and insert the mouthpiece of a bubble wand into the hole—voilà, it’s ready in no time.

Dip the tip into bubble solution and squeeze the bottle to pump out bubbles.

This is a perfect idea for young children who might have trouble blowing bubbles or for kids who want to practice hand and finger movements.

Lantern

[100-Yen DIY] Easy Handmade Halloween Lantern Using a Plastic Bottle

Here’s an introduction to making a lantern from a plastic bottle.

It’s simple, so give it a try! First, cut the plastic bottle into a cylinder along the label area.

Once you’ve decided on a lantern design, print it in black and white on copy paper and cut it to match the size of the bottle you cut out.

Place the design inside the bottle and secure it, then attach tracing paper cut to the same size on the outside.

Finally, decorate it as you like with tape or stickers, and you’re done.

When you put a light inside, the black design will stand out beautifully.

Recommended for kids who are bored with ordinary toys! Let’s make a plastic-bottle air cannon and play.

First, cut off the bottom of an empty plastic bottle, cover the cut edge with a balloon, and secure it firmly with tape.

Tie the end of the balloon so you can pull it.

Finally, make a few targets and you’re done! It’s a science toy that lets you have fun learning how air can knock down targets.

It’s easy to make, so give it a try and play with it!
