Obviously the idea has been around for years and years, but I never made one. I thought how much fun would it be for the munchkins to send one to their grandparents, and how much the grandparents would love getting unique mail. It was SO Easy!
Start with a clean dry water bottle, peel the label off. Have the munchkins write their letters, or draw pictures and then wrap it up in a tight scroll (small enough to fit through the top of the bottle). I taped it then tied it to secure it:
Then I used a touch of elmers glue to the inside of the cap to seal it, and then as an extra measure- I taped it.
Write out your address and adhere it to the front of the bottle- you can put it in a ziploc bag (to protect it from the elements) and then adhere it,or you can tape over it with a clear tape (Clear packing tape works great, but I just ran out of it, so I used scotch and went around the bottle with it)
(please excuse the edit- I wasn't putting my real label up!)
Take it to the post office and have them weigh it for you, and send it on it's way!
