How To Make A Hanging Bottle Garden

A cheap and easy DIY

How To Make A Hanging Bottle Garden
Samantha Miller

This project is good for anyone who loves flowers or whatever. It is very simple, easy enough for most anyone to do, and only costs about $15.

Materials:

Thick jewelry wire, that is at least a a foot longer then the length you want the strand to be.


Gorilla glue.


Four (or however many bottles you want) glass bottles in whatever shape and size you please. I chose smaller ones that are about 1 1/2" tall.


Sand in whatever color you choose.

Fake flowers, I chose smaller flowers that easily could fit in my bottles.

Nails, or hooks for hanging.

Directions:

1. Unwind your jewelry wire and figure out how you would like to space your bottles.

2. Wrap the jewelry wire around the bottles while the bottles are laying on the ground. Wrap the wire around a couple of times. This works best if it is done one at a time. Make sure that the wires cross on the same place for every bottle.

3. Lift the bottles so they are standing and put them on a hard surface that is covered in some kind of plastic or newspaper. Do not try to lift them using only the wire because the bottles will fall out of the wire.

4. This glue tends to slide down the bottle, and can be seen through the bottle. To prevent this, you can put masking tape below the wire.

5. Place Gorilla Glue on the back of the bottles, let them dry. Then put another layer.

6. Test the glue once it is dry by lifting the bottle up by the wire.

7. Hang them up by wrapping the ends of the wire around the nail or hook.

8. Pour sand into the bottles.

9. Place fake flowers. This can also be done with real flowers but one would need to take care of the flowers.

10. Enjoy! 🌸🌸🌸

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
