Get ready to turn an ordinary plastic bottle into a colorful masterpiece! This Rainbow Soda Bottle and Tissue Paper Craft is a fun, hands-on activity that kids will love. Using simple materials like tissue paper, glue, and an empty bottle, children can create a rainbow display that’s perfect for celebrating spring, learning about colors, or just adding a splash of cheerful creativity to your day. It’s low-mess, easy to prep, and a great way to reuse and recycle while crafting!

We turned an old 2 liter soda bottle into a beautiful rainbow that seems to glow when held in the light. I love using things around the house to make art; it saves money and is fun. I was going to use our soda bottle for a different activity but as I was cutting it up this Rainbow Soda Bottle and Tissue Paper Craft came together perfectly instead. My little preschooler, (Ms. Tiger age 3 at the time) loved painting on the tissue paper. When her rainbow was done she would hold it up by the window and watch the sunlight shine through the colorful paper.

Rainbows are a great way to teach colors without feeling like a formal lesson. While we were crafting, we talked about all the different colors that appear in a rainbow and the order they follow. After we were done, we pulled out a prism to make rainbows on the wall and chased them around the room. If your kids are loving the rainbow theme too, you’ll want to try more colorful activities like The Magic of Rainbows Learning Pack (a fun and educational printable set), our Grow a Rainbow paper towel science experiment, and the hands-on Rainbow Noodles and Clouds Sensory Play. And for another creative project, don’t miss this vibrant torn paper rainbow craft that’s just as cheerful and engaging.

Rainbow Soda Bottle and Tissue Paper Craft

Pin Me 🙂

Supplies:

Tissue paper (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)

Empty plastic 2 liter (each 2 liter makes 2 rainbows)

Paper plate

Cotton balls

Clear tape

Paint brush

White glue

Directions:

1. Wash and dry your soda bottle. Cut the top and bottom off so your are left with a tube. Cut the tube in half, to make two symmetrical arches (1 for each rainbow).

2. Secure the long sides of the arches to a paper plate with tape.

3. Cut the tissue paper into small squares and prepare glue by mixing it with a bit of water to make it easier to brush on.

4. Gently brush glue onto the soda bottle and stick tissue paper on top. I showed Ms. Tiger a picture of a rainbow and let her freely create hers.

5. When you’re done decorating your rainbow, glue cotton balls onto the paper plate to make the fluffy clouds.
