Bottle filled with sand and wrapped with twine

Hi Everyone! Today, I thought it would be fun to share a fun project  using  a recycled carbonated bottle.

Bottle Candle Stick bottleWhile enjoying the rest of the summer outside, we’ve been having quite a few lovely cold beverages. That ranged from ice tea, lemonade or one of these fun carbonated drinks.

I have to admit I was taken by this drink  for it’s shape, size, but what I found more interesting is the marble inside the bottle.

Here is the fun part… opening it.

Place the opener onto the the top of the bottle and press down firmly with your palm.

How to Make a Recycle Bottle Candleholder

After enjoying the beverage this is where the recycled comes to play:

  1. Wash and Remove the labeling from the bottle.
  2. Wrap some jute around the top and bottom portion of your bottle.
  3. Fill with sand and add a candle to make a unique one of a kind Candle Stick Holder.

Here I used the recycled bottle candle holder in a summer nautical Tablescape that I shared over at my blog One More Time Events. But you could also use and decorate it in any theme you desire like maybe for a Christmas Candlestick wrapping it with some silver or gold twine and filling it with some Epson Salt to look like snow.
