Hanging Bottles for Your Patio or Porch!

Recycle these bottles to hang on your patio with candles or even a collection of shells from the seashore or momentos from a vacation!



Materials needed:

Jar and Bottle cutter available at www.MarleneWatson.com.

Quik- Cure 5 minute epoxy.

Teflon sheet (do not use one that is used for baking) available at www.MarleneWatson.com.

18 ga. wire.

Liquid Illusion.

Key chain rings or heavy jump rings.

How To -

1. Wash and dry bottles. Cut bottles at different heights. Sand edges.

2. Mix epoxy glue and apply to edge of bottles and set on a teflon sheet. Fill inside neck of bottle with glue. Let dry. This will make a seal at the bottle opening.

3. Wrap wire around the neck of the bottle and knot around a key chain ring to hang it by.

4. Place candle inside of bottle to make a soft patio light or place rocks, seashells or a small plant inside.

The one on the left in the photo had pretty rocks inside and then I poured Liquid Illusion over the rocks to make them look wet.
