You know what would be cool? Melt the bottles alittle. I could imagine getting the bottom alittle droopy. Here’s a way to do it at home in your microwave http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1004040/melt_a_frickn_beer_bottle/

Hey Lindsay and Taylor, this is a great project! Love to re-use wine bottles! Instead of attaching hardware directly to the wall, though, I’m inclined to put the collection of bottles onto a board which can then be attached with wall hangers/hanging wire to the wall. This would mean less damage to the wall. You could also easily detach the collection from the wall to fill/re-fill/dump water from the live flower display. Just a thought. Love the look of the square painted on the wall!

So cute! My husband made something similar out of a pair of metal cage-like paper filers I had bought from Target a few years ago. He lined them with this translucent material he scavenged from these funky geometric green plastic placemats. We used them as votive holders but they could also carry floral arrangements.

Love it! Definitely filing this one away for a rainy day project. My concerns are similar to Gillian’s, though. Is it advisable to put water in the bottles if you’re using fresh flowers, or should this be a silk/dried flower only project? And along those lines, does anyone know where to get silk flowers that don’t look totally awful and/or ideas for things other than flowers that might look good in these bottles? (You know, for those sad times when the fresh flower budget is running low.)
