I love recycling bottles- no idea why but there are many things you can do with them and uses for them too. These are going to be used in my beachy decor, with the hope of having a beach cottage home soon! I didn't have any real type demijohn bottles, which is just a large wine jug with a slender neck. I got the slender neck bottles and a couple of them are wine bottles so this works for me! I had everything on hand so there was no cost to me except a bag of play sand that I bought to photograph the bottles with to get a beachy look. I got some fun pretties by saving my trash! Hubby says the word is, "hoarder!" I say, "he should be thankful I am!"
The beginning!
This was my inspiration from Ballard Designs.
Twine, modge podge, glue gun, glue sticks, bottles, scissors, corks, a little beachy floral, sand, a lot of reseach on knots only to find it's just like macrame and wala! I love love sparkly bling so I had to add a touch of it on my bottles. I think it gives them much more pizzzaazzz!
The largest bottle.
The middle size bottle.
The smallest bottle. (made me think of the story of the, "Three Little Bears" lol, my three bottles turned out just right for me!)

Debi - Apparently, this is an old post that I'm just now seeing. I just wanted to say I think your design is soooo much better than Ballard Designs!!! Maybe, it's also because I'm not a fan of green and prefer your clear glass look with bling more. I haven't done macrame in a while, but I do crochet. I want to try my hand at this idea and possibly, depending on how it turns out LOL, give as Christmas gifts this year to one or two in the family. Thanks for your idea!
