Sometimes it pays not to recycle! Well, I suppose it really only pays not to recycle if you are going to find a new purpose for said recyclables. Reduce, reuse, recycle! We are a "go green" family and proud!
I had set aside a few empty, glass bottles over the last week in hopes of coming up with a brilliantly crafty way to use them. I wanted color and texture in different shapes and sizes and that is what I got! I love my new Christmas accent candy!
These are simple to make, but a little time consuming {perfect for an evening with a glass of red wine and your favorite movie playing in the background}. I spent about an hour on the aqua bottle and the snowman {to DIE for - use an unopened bottle of wine and this baby is a great holiday party host gift or neighbor gift!} and I'm not sure how long on the red, must have been at least two hours {I had a lot of distractions during that one - kids...}.

Excellent ideas! The bottles remind me of my super crafty and thrifty grandmother who turned beer bottles she picked up off the side of the road into the three wise men! I am your newest follower! Thanks for stopping by my blog this week and commenting on my bag!
