Y'all have probably seen these bottle stakes online at crazy prices, but I decided to make my own...for FREE!
So, I used vinegar bottles, which work great. They're just a bit smaller.
Next, I wrapped the twine between the bottle and the stick to secure it more.
Mr. UD called it "lashing"...must be a nautical term.
This balsamic vinegar bottle is short, so I wrapped the middle and the neck, starting with the middle. It only takes a couple of minutes, and you're done.
Wouldn't a group of these be great for a party?

Oh I like this idea. I'll see whether I can copy this - it looks so beautiful with the flowers in the bottles.
These would be very pretty, lining a path, or scattered among the rhododendrons at a garden party.
What a great idea! You are very clever, Babs. This adds a nice touch of color.
I'm all about beauty for free, and I think these look fabulous!
I have seen these at crazy prices. Yours are fun. Love them, Babs!
Babs,
Clever idea, indeed!!!
Love the pops of color they bring to the green vegetation in the Garden!
Great party idea, too!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Fondly,
Pat

These would be fabulous for a party, yes indeed. You are so cool, I am pinning. Ginger
I hadn't seen these, I guess I need to get our more LOL! They really turned out well and of course, what's not to love about free! And it's a great idea for a spot where there isn't much color ~ Judi
Those are cute! I've never seen that done before. Would be great for an outdoor party too.
that is a really nice idea. simple.:)
Hi Babs- I've never seen or heard of these. Cute idea!
