Begin by cutting the tops off each of your bottles. Decide how long you want your case to be
and cut down your bottles to appropriate size. (Keep in mind, if you are creating a case for longer
items like pencils or markers, you want to have a longer bottle and the others short. That way, the
pencils can fit mostly down inside the longer end of the case and the shorter end will fit over the
top of the pencils.) Next, be sure that your zipper fits around the bottle, with a slight If your zipper
is too long…cut some of the zipper length from the two free ends, not the end with the zipper
stop.)

Next, be sure that your zipper fits around the bottle, with a slight overlap at one end. (If your
zipper is too long…cut some of the zipper length from the two free ends, not the end with the
zipper stop.) Now, begin gluing one side of the zipper down to the INSIDE of the bottle, with the
correct side of the zipper facing OUTWARD. Be sure the zipper track is about 1/8 of an inch away
from the bottle, so that the zipper pull can function freely, without running into the edge of the
bottle.

Continue gluing the zipper around the inner lip of the bottle edge, making sure you aren’t getting
any glue onto the tracks of the zipper.

Once you reach the end, overlap the ends of the zipper fabric onto the other end of the zipper,
and glue in place.

Now, begin gluing the other side of the zipper to the other plastic bottle. Start with the free zipper
end and be sure that your bottle is positioned correctly.

Continue gluing until the other half of the zipper is completely attached.

Enjoy! And keep your supplies organized.
