| I'm undecided as to whether a bottle tree is my style. I'm trying to find ideas for using them as outside decoration, other than bottle trees. Preferably, some way that allows light to flow through them. |

| I cut off the bottoms and line my driveway with them. I use the tops to make windchimes and also hang votive candles inside and sell them at a nearby store. Look on etsy.com for all kinds of things you can make with them. Sue |

| The husband wants me to try to use a string of white Christmas lights and the blue budweiser platinum bottles to make party lights for our camper. |

| Book -- that would look awesome ! Blue bottles with clear white lights in them . I think it would be easy for a creative person like you ! Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need help . Tossing around ideas helps everyone :) |

| I put some of them around the corner of my flower beds. Put a short length of rebar in the ground and put the bottle over it. Helps keep the hoses out of my flowers as well as looking pretty. |

I have a metal thing that I'm going to stick some of my blue bottles into as soon as I figure out how to mount it in the garden. I'm not sure what it is, maybe a heavy duty cupcake stand or some sort of specialty stand. I just realized the other day that it can old bottles. Its too short unless I raise it up somehow.
