<p>1) With the Westcott Titanium Cushion Grip Hobby Knife prepare the bottles for the students by beginning the cut for the opening at the top of the planter. This gives them a place to begin cutting with the scissors. Also make several slits on the other side of the bottle for drainage. When linked together the water will flow down from planter to planter.</p>

<!-- Step 1 End --> <!-- Step 2 Begin -->

<p>2) Have the students cut the opening into the side of the bottle with the Westcott 5" Pointed Kids Scissors with Antimicrobial Protection.</p>

<p>4) Lastly have the students cut some yarn with the Westcott 5" Pointed Kids Scissors with Antimicrobial Protection to attach to each end of the bottle. For this design we twisted two contrasting colors of yarn together. Then you are ready to string them all together and begin planting your hanging vertical garden!</p>

<div class="cp-subleft-section"><img alt="Glue Gun Reusable Stencils" src="{{media url=wysiwyg/glue_gun_stencils_1.png}}" width="300" />
<p><strong>Step 1</strong><br /> Plug in your Glue Gun and wait for it to heat up. The Westcott Glue Gun nozzle turns red when it's heated up, (you don't have to touch it to know when it's heated, yay for your fingers)</p>

<!-- Step 1 End --> <!-- Step 2 Begin -->
<div class="cp-subright-section"><img alt="Glue Gun Reusable Stencils" src="{{media url=wysiwyg/glue_gun_stencils_2.png}}" width="300" />
<p><strong>Step 2</strong><br /> On a foil paper, make any design you’d want using hot glue and wait for it to dry. Gently peel off the stencil from the foil paper once it dries and you’re ready to use it.</p>
</div>
<!-- Step 2 End --> <!-- Step 3 Begin -->
<div class="cp-subleft-section"><img alt="Glue Gun Reusable Stencils" src="{{media url=wysiwyg/glue_gun_stencils_3.png}}" width="300" />
<p><strong>Step 3</strong><br /> Place it flat on a surface and use paint to create your design. It’s best to lay the stencil on the flat side, the side that was lying on the foil.</p>
