Only here to get her in the trash was rather sad: just something good thrown away. But there’s a chance to give a second life to used bottles!

One can make glasses, vases and other interesting wares. Provided that your hands grow from where they are supposed to grow in nature.

For this simple procedure you will need the following materials.

symmetrical wine bottle;
