DIY - I CREATED A TORTOISE FROM A PLASTIC BOTTLE.
Hello everyone @diyhub community am glad to be here and  how is everything thing with you all?
I hope things are beautiful.
Today,i decided to recycled plastic bottles and to create a tortoise from it.

The plastic bottle was used as as the tortoise shell and the process was really amazing.

## Here are the materials i used in creating this Diy.

- plastic bottles 
- colourful markers
- super glue
- scissors 
The first step i took was really fun,i had three bottles but to be honest i had wasted one bottle because i couldn't get the right  cutting.
I had in mind of creating three tortoises,hence i needed three bottles for it ,but the problem was i had already made mistake with one and i couldn't use it again .

So luckily for me i was able to cut out two bottles neatly.

The next step was still fun,i got my book,pencil and eraser and i drew a tortoise on it,i made few mistakes,but my eraser was used to get the right sketch

I was able to get the drawing and i did another one to make it two .
Then i got my scissors and i cut out the shape of it.

The next step was for colouring,i got my colour markers,red and blue color and i started colouring

Finally i was done and i took  my super glue and i glued the plastic bottle on the paper i had drew the tortoise.
My daughter felt so happy and i know she's gonna play with it .
