Materials

• empty wine or liquor bottles
• glass paint (optional)
• shovel
• dirt

Directions Before you go outside, wash all your bottles in hot, soapy water to remove the labels. If there is still a residue of adhesive, you can use Vaseline or no stick cooking spray and a scratchy sponge to remove it from the glass. I had a number of clear bottles that I chose to paint brightly with permanent glass paint after they were cleaned. If you choose, you can paint clear bottles a solid color or with a multi-colored design. Follow the directions on the paint packaging to cure the paint. Usually your painted glass gets baked in the oven to make the paint adhere permanently. It’s time to grab the shovel and head outside.
