In my travels I came across this water from Saratoga NY in these blue glass bottles. The blue in these bottles were just too nice to put in the recycling bin... I just HAD to create something out of them.
I started with stuffing the bottles with lights. I used outdoor mini white lights. I found that if you have a 6 pack handy, you can stuff some lights in a bottle and then start putting them in the 6-pack holder and move onto the next bottle. Once all the bottles you are planning on putting in the garden are finished, it's time to start "planting" them. Take thin bamboo sticks (thin enough to go in the bottles) and stick them in the garden and kind of measure how long you need. Then take it out and cut off what you don't need. Place the stick back in the garden and use a wooden mallet to make sure it's in there good. Place all of the bamboo sticks in first and then start placing the bottles on top of them. You will have to figure out your own spacing for the look you want.
From there it's open to much more creativity, so go wild with it or as subtle as needed.
