DIY Easy Bottle Garland for Everyday Flowers

DIY Easy Bottle Garland for Everyday Flowers

I love walking in the garden, but also enjoy fresh flowers in the home. Especially if we are entertaining, I always have a few vases and arrangements on the tables. I sometimes even place a small vase in the powder room. Recently, I saw this bottle garland for sale online, made up of the cutest little vases and thought, “How pretty would this be in a kitchen? How about my office window?” So when Hobby Lobby was have their glass items at 50%, off I picked up 5 cute bottles, and some silver wire to make my own bottle vase garland.

Using Command Mini Hooks placed on the sides of the windowsill, I attached the wire by making a loop.

Then I wrapped the wire around the neck of each bottle 3 to 4 times, leaving a few inches between each bottle.

Once I got it to the length and curve I wanted, I cut extra to make another loop so that it could be connected to the command hook on the other side of the window.


A $4.00 bouquet of purple stock was more than enough to fill the vases, and they look so pretty.


This would make a great gift, don’t you think?


This DIY bottle garland is easy to make. For less than $10 you can hang this from any window and place cuttings from your favorites flowers to display.
