Twine Bottles

I am always interested in using things that I already have...

RN has come to the point that he does not throw anything away unless I approve :)

Bless his heart!

This project is fairly easy and a little time consuming...but the good thing is that you don't have to do it start to finish all in one time!

The inspiration for this project came from BHG, from the June 2012 magazine.

You could use any bottles you have in your recycle bin!

For this one I am using an empty wine bottle and a vinegar bottle, but I am also going to save a few beer bottles...if you don't drink, ask a friend who does ;)

Here is what I used for my project:

bottles

Remove labels (and plastic cap) on bottles before starting. 
Soak in water and it will come right off

twine

hot glue gun+glue sticks

Start from the bottom and work your way up.

 Put a little extra glue for the first several rows, so you have a solid "base".

Then, use the glue gun every couple of rows.

Remember that you don't need to 

use A LOT of glue.
Just be strategic in using it in the right spots :)

And here it is.

Use as is,

Or add flowers...

This project says "Summer" to me, it could be a simple addition to a bookshelf or vignette, and could be use indoor or outdoor!

Cost of this project $0
Already had the material used

After all the hard work finishing this project, I indulged myself in eating this...

I call it the "Italian Reeses", my
homemade sandwich wheat bread with
peanut butter and Nutella!
Chomp, chomp...

Stay Frugal,
