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! 🌸🌸🌸

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
