Kitty Pen Stand 

To make this Kitty Pen Stand we would require below stuff...

Stuff required : 

Old Plastic Bottles
Fevicol
Acrylic paints
Scissor
Knife/cutter

Steps to follow : 

1. Get a old plastic bottle. Clean it properly and make it completely dry. I am using a liquid soap bottle.

2. Now, using a sharp knife or cutter cut the plastic bottle head as shown below.

3. Using scissors cut the ears of our Kitty. Use hot knife to smooth out the edges.

4. We have completed tracing our Kitty structure. Next, apply a lay of Fevicol on the entire plastic bottle as shown below. Covering bottle with Fevicol will help us give a smooth paint in next step.

5. Once Fevicol gets completely dry using acrylic colors paint the entire bottle with white color. 

6. Now, using black and pink paints or sketch pens draw some details. I have drawn eyes, lips, ears, nose and a tail. The plastic bottle I had used had an impression which can be made as tail.
