For a while now we’ve been members of the Craft Gin Club, a subscription service which provides a bottle of gin, mixers and nibbles every month. It means we have a fair few bottles of gin, with several on the go at once. But here’s the thing, they’re all generally really pretty bottles and so I was keen to find a way to repurpose them.
I’d seen lights in bottles, and how pretty they were and I bought a box or two much earlier in the summer. They’re easy to fit and use, but that wasn’t my concern. My concern was the slugs and snails slithering over the labels and leaving a trail of destruction. And so, I’ve tried a layer of PVA Glue over them and I’m hoping that will protect the labels for at least a little while.
It’s only now though, that the warmer weather is making a brief return that I’ve been able to try them out. And I’m really pleased with how they’ve worked out, and how much light they give out. Don’t they look great?
I’ve used them in groups of three, some on the table but also on the edge of the grass and on the patio. I never expected them to turn out quite so well.
What do you think?
