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! 🌸🌸🌸

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
