Procedure:
Step 1:
Take the bottle and measure 20 cm from bottom to top. You will make some marks with the down around the bottle to indicate this measurement.
Step 2:
Cut the bottle at the brand you made earlier. And separate the top part from the bottom part. If necessary you can cut the edges with scissors to make the cut straight.
Step 3:
Unscrew the lid and with the cutter, you will make a hole in the middle of the lid, so that it fits the piece of fabric. Pass the piece of cloth through the hole you made previously.
