Drink Up!

Just kidding ... don't do that!  But do finish up your favorite cold ones and turn the bottles into fun candles!
   

Here is how you do it:
  1. Clean the bottle 
  2. Cut the top off.  There are a ton of methods to do this but I bought this thing - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZRV3AU/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_dp_1.  It is not perfect but after some practice I got it down
  3. Glue the wick to the bottom of the glass and let dry 
  4. Melt wax (I used remains from old candles around the house but you can buy it at the craft store too)
  5. Pour in wax and let dry
  6. Enjoy! 
Next up, I am going to make a few more of these and also try to paint some and get them up on Etsy.  I will keep you posted!
