I am trying to upload a couple of photos of some things my son and I made.A Palm like bottle tree, some metal flowers and my bowling balls.

I like the metal flowers, but I think the bowling balls are adorable. Good job!!!

Very Nice

Neat stuff!!!!

Just darling! I'm going to have to drink more wine...for the bottles, of course.

I'm not fond of wine, but I can make an exception. Those metal flowers sre adorable I want to make something like that. So cool and I love the colors.

really cute and so cheerful!!!!

Great job! What are the metal flowers and matching balls made from?

The spheres and flowers are made of metal strapping. Thanks everyone.

Love the idea of painting the bottles. For those of you that don't drink wine, just go to your local restaurant or bar, and ask if you can have the empty bottles.

Really cute love the flowers and BB.

Hi Midway, my husband and I just discovered this thread. We like your ideas. We have lots of excess wine bottles that people have given us. In the first picture please tell us how the colored wine bottles are affixed to the top of the rods (possibly rebar) to give the cluster affect.

Hi Doris,
He just takes a piece of rebar and spot welds the small sticks around the rebar. We use plugs to hold the vase on.
Have fun,
Patsey

Patsey, what kind of plugs do you use to hold the vase on? Thank you for answering and sharing.
