  • These were so easy and fun to make! Click here for the full tutorial.  http://www.thevspotblog.com/2012/08/upcycle-turn-wine-bottle-into-etched.html
  • Glass etching cream is inexpensive and fun. Putting stickers on the bottles or using stencils will etch anything you want onto the bottle.
  • I found quotations about water, or the word "water" in different languages, and I was able to etch them just using contact paper, stencils and the glass etching cream.

Upcycling empty wine bottles into etched water carafes

I tend to have a lot of empty wine bottles and corks hanging around. (Don't judge!) So I try to craft with them whenever possible. These were fun to have out on the tables during a summer ...»

  • Simple make over with Krylon's Mirror Glass spray paint. 3-5 coats of paint make for a lovely vintage feel.
  • Bright succulents stand out against the mirrored surfaces of the jars.
  • Fast, simple, and a repurpose for something you might buy weekly!

Spaghetti Jars for the win!

Classico brand jars are rather adorable when you take the labels off! And they come in various sizes: pesto, pizza, alfredo, and marinara sizes.

  • Select container(s) made of clear glass. An open container is ideal for succulents. A closed container is better suited for humidity loving plants. 1
  • Next, choose plants keeping in mind the size & shape of your container. Also choose plants that enjoy the same living environments for humidity & light. Slow growers are your best bet for low- maintenance.
  • Clean & dry your container well prior to planting.
  • Add 1-2" of pea gravel for drainage. A good rule of thumb when layering is that the sum of your layers should equal 1/3 the depth of your pot.
  • Next is a layer of charcoal to reduce odors and algea growth. Charcoal can be found at your local nursery or anywhere pet supplies are sold.
  • Add a piece of mesh screen or weed barrier material cut to size on top of the charcoal. The barrier will prevent your soil from seeping down.
  • Your last layer is potting soil.
  • Once the layers are complete, genlty remove your plant from its container & tease away any excess dirt. Add plants starting with the largest, then work smaller ones around it.
  • Lastly, water just enough to moisten the soil well. Your water content should not exceed the depth of the gravel.
  • And here's your end result. So easy and so impressive!

Wildlife & Animals: How to get rid of a woodpecker?

A woodpecker is destroying an area over my parent's garage. My father has put a layer of aluminum over one area (which looks terrible) and it pecks at the areas around it. What can we do to stop it?
