I've always used super glue. I've never had one leak.

I use these kinds of water bottles. Plastic lids.

I use gatorade bottles and I don't use anything to seal them. I have never had one leak!

The BEST bottles I've ever used are the Fiji ones.... VERY strong IMHO, but VERY expensive for water....

Must have something to do with the square shape. I don't know.

what all do you put in your bottles? im thinking about some pretty fabric and some glitter too? in water? doing color bottles right now

[melilley]

I have water w/glitter and food coloring, water with just glitter, noodles, oil and water w/ food coloring, sparkly letter stickers. That's about it. I made them in a whim when I first opened and used whatever I had laying around. The possibilities are endless!

Flour, sand, rice, etc... with little toys (or whatever) so when the flour moves around, they can see the toys, is a great one!
