Step 1: Peel label from empty plastic soda bottle. Use adhesive remover and a paper towel to remove any residue.

Step 2: Wash soda bottles thoroughly; let dry completely.

Step 3: Using Xacto knife, carefully cut off top of bottle. Cut a half-circle out of the back, near the bottom; this will make it easier to add the sand and the candle.

Step 4: Draw facial features on contact paper and cut out. Adhere features to the soda bottle, being careful to firmly seal edges with fingernail.

Step 5: Cover work area with newspaper. Spray soda bottles with Krylon Fusion – one with Pumpkin Orange and the other with Sunbeam. Let dry for 3 hours.

Step 6: When completely dry, carefully peel off contact paper features. (Note: Krylon Fusion will be dry to touch after 15 minutes but should be allowed to cure for at least 24 hours before the luminaries are put into service.)

Step 7: Add sand to base for weight and insert candle. Light and enjoy.
