Tara Heibel: Meet The 'Perfect House Plant'
A 50's Home Gets A Modern Day New Look
In Random Recast, we find new uses for ordinary items. This week: Wine Bottles.
Garden edging usually falls into two categories: Flimsy or expensive. But this garden edging made from wine bottles is both sturdy and economical. Just dig a hole that's deep enough to cover the top third of the bottle. Then, insert a bottle neck-side-down into the hole. Next, anchor the bottle neck by compacting dirt into the hole. Repeat until your border is finished.
And just to put this out there: You don't have to drink gallons of wine to get enough bottles to use in this project. Instead, head over to a site like Freecycle, where people often give away their empties for those looking to craft. Or, make friends with your local restaurant, who can set aside the empty wine bottles from the night's service.

I have a friend that recycles wine bottles by turning them into lamps. He drills a whole near the bottom (thinner bottles are hard to do) then he puts the white little lights (same ones used for Christmas trees) inside. On top he puts very small shades on the neck of the bottle. On bottles that have awesome labels he tries to match the shade to the label and plain labels he takes off and paints sceneries on. They are very cool.

Replyummm... Lynn, maybe you're the one with the English problem.... "sceneries- plural of scenery:a picturesque view or landscape". Might want check things out before making fun of others. Hahaha!!!
