You can use your new Repurposed Soda Bottle craft many times throughout the year. If painted in bright colors, I think these would make a cute addition to a kid’s birthday party table too!

    What kind of paint. Did you prep paint first? I'm trying the same ideal a bit different, everytime I try paint it doesn't stick well. Is there a primer?

    If you really wish to use a real candle, fill the base with sand first and add a tealight candle to the centre, pushed into the sand so there is only a couple of mm's of the tealight rim holder above the sand. Make sure the jute handle is out of the way before you light it obviously.

    Being made of plastic, I would NOT use this as a votive holder. FLAMMABLE!!
