Reusing a Chambord Bottle

October 7, 2010 11:04 AM

Any cool reuses for an empty Chambord bottle?

Just finished a bottle of Chambord last night. Does anyone know of any cool crafts/projects/art/recycling/upcycling ideas so I can turn that unique spherical bottle into something else?

Convert it into a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch for Halloween

I put loads of tiny seashells in the bottom then a candle in the neck. It cheers the kitchen windowsill considerably.

I like to keep my mouthwash in pretty bottles rather than the ugly plastic container it came in.

Along the lines of cestmoi15, I buy olive oil in the giant 25 litter cans and decant into a gorgeous bottle for my kitchen counter top. A chambord bottle would be perfect!

Ps, I also do this with detergents, toilet cleaner, etc. Makes the house prettier. No, they don't all sit on my kitchen counter!

Along the lines of batmonkey, I once had a tiny Chambord bottle - you know those ones that are about 1-2 shots in volume? I had the world's tiniest fake nosegay in it. I am sure a full-sized one, with less Lilliputian flowers, would look even cooler.
