  • 4
    Make a little mill out of colored paper.
  • 5
    At the center, both front and back, attach a small piece of cork.
  • 6
    Pierce a pin through the middle so the mill can spin in the wind.

    If necessary, fill the bottle with colored sand or small colored pebbles so that the whole thing remains stable.
