Recycling Those Cool Glass Soda Bottles!

Upon drinking tons of coke and orange soda out of glass bottles (because it tastes better in a glass bottle) I decided to keep them since I knew I would find some use for them! Lo and behold I did.

First Use

Not much needed for this, just a clean soda bottle and a field to frolick in.
Take bottle, fill it with water, go to a field, and pick some pretty flowers.
We happen to have a field of wild flowers in my backyard, so I just went out there and fought with some bees to pick a few pretty flowers.
Voila! A beautiful vase.

Second Use

This one requires a few more supplies, we will be making terrariums!

Sand, Soil, Activated Charcoal, Pebbles, Moss, and whatever else you decide you want in your terrarium.
