Bottle plants

So I looked at my innocent (innocente according to my dad LOL) and I thought "I could do something with you but what?" Then I remembered my need for something to love and nurture and I thought about plants in my room.

 Cut off the top of the bottles around the line that is on there (its kinda wibbly wobbly) I used a craft knife but a pen knife may have been better.

 Get your plants.

 make sure their not dead I used alpines much to my mothers disgust.

 Fill your bottles with a third of pebbles or gravel, then a third of compost and then top it off with your plant making sure to break up the bottom slightly with your fingers and flatten it down a little with your fingers. If they are a little dry add water but don't drown em.

 I used an elastic band to put the names back on cos I'm lazy and I'm not going to remember the names LOL or how to look after them.

Finished!! :)

Pictures of Jewellery

Here are some pictures of my work so you can have a look at the progress and the gathering of stock so that I can do more fairs around the stoke area. I am doing the one at Fat Cats Stoke on the 4th of July hope to see you there! 

 The above ones are button rings that are made vintage and second hand buttons.

 These rings are made out of Lego pieces I will make some more so that the box will be full of rings.

 Here is the first box that is full of button rings that I have completed in their display box

 Here is the same box from another angle and closer

 Here is a sample of the puzzle rings there are more to come but I need to buy more boxes which I have found on Ebay for those who are interested
