RC aircraft guys have been using the thin sides of the 2L pop bottle to make clear aircraft canopies for years. It's easier to cut than the thick bottom. First carve/sand a shape from a wooden dowel/stick/block. Then use a heat gun to gently melt the plastic to any contour you like.

Be careful. Too much heat turns the plastic to goo very quickly.  Sun
