 Take a look below at these photos of what some creative and innovative folks have done with bottles and I think you'll agree!

  2. I love old bottles. I have tons of antique ones.

    I usually make terrariums, but some of the planters look so great! I'll have to try some of these ideas.

  5. WOW the creativity is amazing.

    It's hard to pick a favorite. But I do love the blue bottle tree.

    I recycle my used bottles...rather than reuse them.
