Instructions

    • 1

      Unscrew the cap off a plastic water bottle. Paint the water bottle your desired color (use spray paint). Black works well for an imitation gun.

    • 2

      Poke a hole in the top of the water bottle cap using a thumbtack or a small nail. Hammer the nail or tack in if you're having a hard time poking it through the cap.

    • 3

      Spray paint the cap to match the bottle. Add stencils, spray paint or acrylics to design the bottle. You could paint the bottle to look like a gun, an animal with the opening as its mouth or simply use abstract designs.

    • 4

      Fill the bottle with water and screw the cap on tight. Take aim and squeeze the bottle. Make as many of these squirt guns as you'd like.
