 Today I made a very feminine Moscato D’Asti empty bottle and embellished it with pearls. Well, I know that diamonds are girl’s best friends but in the absence of them, pearls are the second best. And the blue color bottle is a hit onto itself. This is just to tell you that you can make something pretty out of discarded items and basically with pennies. These bottles are screaming make something out of me, please! Smile. These are the bottle materials: Total Cost ($1.15) 1 empty Moscato D’Asti bottle (0) 5 odd shape pearls (.50) ½ yd. tiny pearls to make a bow ($1.00) ½ yd. or regular size pearls to cover the bottom and lid ($1.00) Hot glue or regular glue for attached the pearls to the bottle and lid (.15) Directions

 This is an effective way to recycle materials that otherwise would go to fill our land fields. Again, a simple empty bottle of wine, rum, whiskey or anything else you may have around your home. For this project I used an empty bottle that a friend gave me. These are the bottle materials: Total Cost ($1.15) 1 empty Parrot Bay bottle (0) 3 to 4 tall grass flowers?? Smile, from yours or your neighbor’s garden. (0) Assortment of sea shells (these ones came from Sarasota FL beaches) (0) 1 starfish or sea star ($1.00) Hot glue or regular glue for attached the shells and starfish (.15) Directions
 This is my second recycled-repurposed bottle post for this series. Remember, the whole idea of this series is to help a bit in keeping these bottles out of our land fields. For today’s project I used an empty bottle of whiskey. The whole cost to make it was 75 cents. Would look nice in a home bar as decoration, don’t you think? These are the bottle materials: Total Cost (.75) 1 empty whiskey bottle (0) ½ yard of beige ribbon, no craft wire was needed for the bow, as I used my husband’s 2 fingers like back in the day to make it! ha-ha! (.60) 1 handful of acorns (there are plenty on your streets now, free! (0) Hot glue or regular glue for attached the acorns and the ribbon (.15) Directions
 This is my first recycled-repurposed wine bottle post for this series, to help a bit in keeping them out of our land fields. Most of you have wine bottles at home and if you don’t, I am sure that you have plenty of empty glass bottles that you can use to explore your artistic side and make them look pretty. What would you do with them? Well, you can keep them or give them away to friends. These are the bottle materials: Total ($2.00) 1 empty wine bottle (0) 1 craft color paint plus 1 small brush or craft roller (.50) ½ yard of green ribbon and 10” of thin craft wire (.50) 1 bunch of silk flowers ($1.50) Directions
