to start with I don’t have a step by step for this but felt tutorials would be the right place for these to go.They are very easy and simple to make and I will go tough some of the stuff we used inside our bottles.
To start off with plastic bottle will do used or brought in any shape or size. Our bottle are smaller Tavel sized bottle from Poundland. We found these to be a good size for tiny hand to grip.
the photo above we used neon colour loom bands and cut them up befor adding them to the bottles. The cut up bands give a gentle rattling sound. This would be good for anyone with over sensitive hearing.
After I made the loom band bottle I decided to make some more different types. I went on to make another batch containing neon coloured Hama beads. Ironing beads but any neon coloured beads would work well. Some glow in the dark Hama ironing beads. Plus some cut up neon pipe cleaners.
These all worked really well under the uv light bulb in our sensory room.
After making the Hama bead bottles I kind of took it over board. I kept finding new things and new ways of making bottles.
Top row first three bottles have glow in the dark Hama beads inside.
Top row next four bottles have neon coloured Hama beads inside.
top row next bottle has cut up pipe cleaners inside.
top row last bottle has sunny beads inside beads that change colour on sunlight but also change colour under uv light.
Lets start on the bottom row the first four have cut up loom bands in neon colours.
Bottom row next is cut up jelly bracelets in neon colours.
bottom row next is a fidget string toy from the enetertatner toy shop.
bottom row next is spiked jelly like balls from a cut up bracelet they kind of bounce around inside the bottle as well as having a bright glow under uv light.
the last bottle on the bottom row is neon green plastic beads we already had these from a cheap children jewellery making kit. When I found they had a nice glow I just put them in a bottle.
You can then go a head and glue the tops on. What I did was screw them down tight so Edwin could not get them open.
After the bottles I went on to make a little shaker out of a old earring box tape and some neon seed beads. Neon ribbon ring and some netted fabric in to scarves.
If I’ve missed anything out or anyone needs any more detail feel free to comment and I will do the best I can to help.
