Good day, everyone.
We are still on our holidays, and I am enjoying it at home with my parents and siblings.
We finished up a carbonated bottle drink, and it was time to throw the bottle.
But looking at the bottle, something came to my mind.
And I thought of recycling the carbonated drink bottle to something that could make me smile.
I was thinking of creating something useful to I and my siblings.
Then,I came up with the idea of constructing an hourglass.
I and my siblings do a game of timing for fun. Most times, we don't get the accuracy of our count.
So,making this hourglass could help, and it would be fun to do as well.
I looked around for other available materials that I could recycle as well.
These are the materials I used for the hourglass.
Empty plastic bottles (The empty carbonated drink bottles)
Carton
Glue
Sand
Rope
Stick
Straw
Scissors
Procedure
Step 1 : Bring 2 plastic bottles, remove the cover, and cut out the bottom part.

Step 2 : Draw two big circles in a carton, cut it out, and glue each of it in the circle part of the bottle to be used.
Step 3 : Draw a big circle in a carton and cut it.
Make a hole in the circle and keep.
Step 4 : Join the cover part of the bottle together, let the carton with a big hole in the middle be in the middle of the two cover bottles that are joined together.
Use a rope to hold it together and tight it.
Step 4: Measure a straw to the two bottles held together before inserting it inside the two bottles.
Step 5: Add sand to the lower bottom before covering the two upper sides with a carton.
Then two it to the other side.
Our hourglass is ready in review.
