I made this Bottle Tree for my wife after she saw one and asked me to make her one. She collected the bottles from teachers she works with and from my cousin. She plans to change them once in a while for a new look or have me make more for her. She already has another design style planned. Here are some links to bottle tree sites:

this is so awesome... I really need one of these now... or a few of them.. I bet they are beautiful when the sun shines through them... maybe could hang something from the neck of each bottle that would give it a wind chime effect... like spoons and forks maybe.. hmmm not sure
ReplyDeleteI came across your bottle tree as I was looking for one. Your tree is fabulous.What a great job!
ReplyDeleteMy son is in Welding at his high school and ants to make me one... can you give me dimensions and required material??
ReplyDeleteTo Rachel, Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteTo mykidsmomx3, All that was used was rebar that you can get at Lowes or Home Depot. It's the cheapest to use. It can be any size you want it. I think ours is 5ft above ground. You can do whatever you think of to put on the base to make it more stable than a bar when sunk into the ground. We made sure the "branches" were long enough for a bottle...some of our branches could have been shorter. He could make a mini one too with a base for inside on a table or the floor and you can use tiny bottles. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI like that your arms are longer, so many seem to be so short. You need them longer to get the wind in them. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHi, is this exact blog is your sole portal or you personally have some more?
