oh my GOOOOOOODNESSSSSSSS SSS!!! that is absolutely amazing. thank you so much for the tutorial! i definitely have to try this! did you roll it in word so the paint was on the inside or the outside?also did you roll is so the outside has the smaller triangular end? and haha just one more what kind of bottle did you use?

[verdilak]

i made the small end on the inside, but have done it both ways... its up to you really, and up to the plastic, if it will stay rolled tight enough and if you can keep it closed with the pliers.

The paint was on the inside of those, but i have coloured both sides and the colour is MUCH better.

I think it was a fuji water bottle, but any will work... the coloured plastic ones, like mt dew are great for a beea that is a uniform colour.

Thanks!!!
