GOOD USE FOR WINE BOTTLES



The blue bottles that I've had as decoration on my bookshelf were actually wine bottles that I got from my mom. I love the color of them and they really added some height in my room. There was one thing that I wasn't a big fan of though: they were kind of plain. They were the same height as my other vase so I needed something that would make them prettier and taller.




On my trip to Hobby Lobby, I got two large sunflowers that they had on sale and decided they would be perfect in the bottles. I had to cut them shorter and take the stems off, but I really like the result. I also had to clean up the bottles a little bit and take off the stickers, which was not a fun task, but now you would never know that they were wine bottles. Now there's a taller and more colorful addition to my bookshelf!
