    Just remove the wrapper from the neck, they are already pretty. You could buy little lights that are attached to a cork.

  • Fill em up with water and stick upside down in potted plants, turn them into bird feeders, theres so many things you can do! Is the picture a sticker or printed on the glass? Do you have a cutter?

      The picture is painted on the glass. The picture is pretty but I’d like to get the worlds off but I don’t think they will come off. I’ll have to see if I can find the idea for a birdhouse! I like that idea for use in s potted plant.

    Use any of the amazing tricks for cutting bottles and make vases by cutting off the tops, like Ana said, fairy lights attached to corks, fill bottles with different coordinating colors of sand and group together as a centerpiece. Insert alternate colored long stem artificial flowers to really bring it all together on a glass tray

    Miles kimball sells a 10 pronged metal stand that is to be used as yard art. You simply pus the stakes on the bottom of the stand into the ground and then arrange the bottles upside down on the prongs. They are beautiful bottles!

    Make a bottle tree. Use wire and zip ties to attach them to it.

    Get a drill bit from ace that can be used to drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom,side of the bottle, insert a pack of 10 Christmas lights from biglots through the hole with the plug remaining outside creating a night light.

    You could use them for oil and vinegar or dish soap,just put a liquor spout on them.

    Put them in a row on a mantel or shelf or table and put one or two pretty blossoms in each one.

  • Maybe try acetone to clean the letters off. Try on a small spot first, like if it has small numbers for its contents measurement (oz or mil or whatever). That way, if it just smudges, you will just have a small smudge

    Ok I’ll try that. Thank you!

  • Joyce Koch Joyce Koch on Jun 18, 2018

    Thanks! I need to try to get some of the lettering off

    Oh now that’s a good idea! Thanks! Maybe I can make some seasoned oils and regift them. Even bath oils maybe with essential oils!

    I have had the idea of a bottle tree but unsure what to use for branches. The metal ones never have enough branches.

    I would take acetone the kind you buy in a hardware store not nail polish remover, and try to remove the parts you do not want. Put it on a cotton ball.

    Then I would buy a pump and use the bottles for soap dispensers, in kitchen and bathroom.

    You could also use them for a vinegar spray to clean your bathroom, as well as using for vinegar and oils. For that you can buy spouts to insert into the bottle at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
