Somewhere, Pat, a young man is weeping over that spilled out beer, but no matter,…you got what you wanted. I hope you post a photo of them on our Facebook page.

I peeled the labels off then soaked them for a while in hot water. It was easy to scrape any remaining glue off with a razor blade. I now have 72 bottles waiting to decide what to do with them. They are so beautiful with so many possibilities. I too will make a bottle wall, but will also use green, amber and clear bottles. I have been trying to track down a few of the ruby red Schlitz bottles, but they do not come cheap.

The labels were super easy just placing in the sink covered with hot, soapy water. Came right off for me. I made a bottle tree and have enough for the coming spring to do whatever I want.

I love beer bread and have had a recipe of my own for quite a few yrs. I will definitely try yours that you have shared with all of us. Thanks.

And Happy Gardening, everyone. (at some point in the “near” future)

In the past year, my husband has went through a drinking stage, drinking a 6 pack every weekend. Although I would rather he didn’t drink, it is nice I get something out of it… the beautiful, blue beer bottles. I have a bottle tree in my front yard with 15 of them on it now and I am saving all the others for projects. The first few I am considering are some kind of hanging pendant lights and a “fence” / sunshield with bottles that have holes drilled in the bottom threaded onto piping and then put in the ground and secured at the top, by building a wooden frame across the top and bottom or securing them to the end of the porch to block out the hot, afternoon sun and show a beautiful glow of blue glass.

I LOVE them!!

I plan to have a couple of blue bottle projects by spring. BTW, the bread sound fabulous, and I’ll be trying my hand at making some.

Did you make your own bottle tree? did you post it on Pinterest?
