Garden Project

I've been saving up our empty wine bottles and have asked friends to save theirs as well and I soon had enough to made my rock garden wall. (Thank goodness our friends are alcoholics!!)

I was short a few wine bottles when I took this image, but that issue has now been corrected. I did 24 bottles each row. I cleaned all the bottles, removed the labels and then used the old corks and cut them into 2. I stuffed them back into the bottle because I don't want anyone making home inside my lovely bottles.

For the lights, I couldn't find any solar lights that I liked. I wanted some unique to go with my unique wine bottle border. When I was looking at the Good Will I came across these light globes and instantly knew I needed these for my garden. I went to Target picked up some color changing solar lights that also have an option of being a "clear/white" light.

When I got home I staked the lights into the ground and topped them off with the globes. TADA, instant solar lights!!! This took less then 5 minutes to do.  When we have friends over they keep asking where I got these and I love the fact I can say I did it myself. I also like knowing, no one else has these. :)

TIP- The light globes come in my shapes and sizes. Make sure the opening will fit over a solar light is my only suggestion. Otherwise go small, go BIG...endless possibilities.  I'm looking for some white colored globes now, because I want some in our backyard.

Cost for lights- $1.99 for each fixture (2) and the lights were on sale @ Target for a $1.50 each (2)
