Make It: Vintage Bottle Wall Vase
Remember the free vintage soda crates and bottles I scored from Craigslist?
What to do with all those goodies – what bottle crafts idea would do?
First project – make a bottle wall vase of course!
How to Make a Bottle Wall Vase
Supplies:
Vintage bottle (or a new one)
Piece of wood (I chose a piece of moulding from Home Depot and had them cut it a few inches larger than my bottle)
Paint (I used white)
Sand paper
2 – screws (mine are 1 1/4″ – depending on how thick your wood is, you may have to use a different size)
1 – two hole pipe strap (mine is 3/4 but depending on the size of the lip of the bottle, you may need a different size)
2 – 1″ pvc tubes (cut a pvc tube into desired length – found in plumbing section)
Sawtooth picture hanger
1) Paint your piece of wood and sand it a bit to give it some character
2) Cut pvc tube so that it fits over the screw so the bottle lies flat against wood
3) Thread the screws through the 2 hole pipe strap and pvc tube spacers
4) Slip bottle underneath pipe strap and adjust so that the lip of the bottle rests on pipe strap
5) Add sawtooth picture hanger on the back
6) Add water and a flower!
Now what to do with all those soda crates?
Check out all of my simple projects here.
A wonderful idea. I have Coke bottle and the brackets would have never thought of the two together. Thank you for sharing.
Kelly, I absolutely LOVE this! Such a simple project with big impact – I totally have to make one for my kitchen! I am so envious of your soda crates and am hoping to stumble upon one some day! Thanks for sharing and pinning! Have a happy Monday!
LOVE this! i need to try it!
Just beautiful, especially with the flowers you’ve chosen!
Just plain awesome : )

Only YOU kelly can come up with something ingenius like this! So cute and quirky! I have 2 crates of my own too, used as trays of course but I’ve seen a couple used as an outdoor drawer cart!
That is too darn cute Kelly…I have an old wood Pepsi six bottle holder…I place flowers in them from time to time. You are one creative gal!!…just love it!
Cute idea!
So cute, I love vintage finds!! I would love to invite you over to share at my Weekend Beautiful Blog Party 🙂

You are so clever……..and so vintage……….love it, TFS, Love & Blessings to you/yours…
I wonder if E6000 would hold the bottle to the wood satisfactorily. I may try that instead of all of the measuring and cutting, etc.
Great project! Of course, in Atlanta, it’d have to be a Coke bottle! Love it!
This is an awesome idea…..and Im a Pepsi girl so perfect!!!!

The possibilities are endless! I can’t wait to make one of my own. Better hurry while my Hydrangeas are still blooming! Sharing and Pinning too. This is fab.
This is adorable!! I have a vintage pop bottle collection & what a fun way to use them & show them off. Thanks!
That is such a cute idea. I have seen it before somewhere can’t remember. Thank you for showing us how to do it!
That is just too cute!
I love this, Kelly~ absolutely Pepsi-licious!
Hugs, Mary Beth
I Pinned this (and so did LOTS of other people)! Beautifully shot, too!

It’s so cute and unique…I love it!
I knew you’d come up with something great to do with those bottles. And of course, you did. Lovely with the blue hydrangeas (my fave).
Janet
Oh gosh, that’s sooo cute!!
This is really cute!
Love how this turned out Kelly! Pinning! 🙂
OK, can I just say if smart had a face you would be it!
Girl, you are adorable and this project like all others you share is a winner!
Pinning… and copying 😉
What a cute idea!!!
Adorable! I think I need to get my hands on an old Diet Coke bottle ASAP!
Fantastic! While I am a Coca-Cola girl all the way, I must say the Pepsi bottle is so perfect for this project. The blue picks up the blue in the hydrangea. And, I, along with hundreds of others have ‘pinned’ this to my ‘to-do’ pinterest board. I have some great Christmas design coke bottles that will be perfect at Christmas time with a poinsettia bloom or some narcissus blooms….my mind is whirring now. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Beautiful job! I saw the dresser/planter in Flea Market Gardens and just loved it! You are very talented and have given me several great ideas. (hope my projects turn out as well).
So how did you use all those vintage coke crates? I have a couple and would love to see your ideas.
Clever and vintage! Love it, Kelly! xo
Such a fun & cute little project! Love it!
I’m a Coke girl, myself, but this is adorable! haha
Love to made crafts that does touch my heart….
