Plastic Flowers

I wanted to show my boyfriend how to have fun with pet bottles. You cut the bottle and make leaves. It can be of any shape. The next step is to light a candle. You leave the leaf above it until it begins to wind. It takes a bit of sense, cause in case you let it there for too long, it folds, which we don't wont.

When you have winded the plastic you can start putting it together. Keep one end of the leaf above the candle until it melts. Then push it to its aimed place and press e.g. with scissors. It doesn't hold well, but it doesn't matter that much.
It looks like this - I made the left one and he did the right flower. He's very skillful, isn't he? :-)
He's got it nicer :,-(
