Mele: Kiwiana Tomato Sauce Bottle

 

I enjoyed making the leaves and the top. I had to roll the paper to make the top and I used glue to hold the paper down. I loved painting my tomato sauce bottle. We used balloons and Mr O'Brien helped us blow up the balloons. We used newspaper and glue to stick the newspaper pieces around the balloon.
