Step 7: Attach Bottle to Music Box

I took a sharp knife and cut slices into the bottom of the bottle. The very centre of this bottle was very hard so I started my cuts between the shaped bulges of the plastic (sorry, this is really abstract unless you are looking at the bottom of a pop bottle), as close to the middle of the bottle as I could.

The slices were approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches long (from the centre, out to the side edge of the bottle, and then up the side a little).

Once I had the slits cut, I sliced off the bulbous parts and bent the pieces of plastic so they were flat like the rim of a top hat.

I unscrewed the top of the music box and set the bottle on top. I cut small pieces of duct tape and used those to tape down the plastic flaps I had created, and wrapped the tape around the edge of the music box top. I had to make sure the tape was as flat as I could get it over the sides and underneath so that it wouldn't interfere with the turning of the music box.
