DIY: Hanging Flowered Bottles

I found this charming decor idea from laurenconrad.com: hanging glass bottles filled with flowers. These would look lovely for party decor, or even for the home, hanging in the kitchen or bedroom.



Materials:

Twine
Vintage glass bottles
Fresh cut flowers
Scissors

Instructions:

1. Measure and cut twine according to the height of the area you will be hanging the bottles from. Hanging them at eye level is most effective, but make sure to leave about 8 inches of extra slack at the end for tying.
2. Tie one end of the twine onto the bottle neck.
3. Fill bottle with desired amount of water.
4. Cut and place your flower into the bottle. I love the look of different types of flowers but keeping them the same color.
5. Hang the flowered bottles from a sturdy base.

Voila!
