Here's a Great Up Cycle Idea!!!  You can use a "Holiday Theme" or You can use a "More Common Theme" to us Southerners - "SEC FOOTBALL"...  Sorry Bammer's she did not have an "UA" but I am going to make one this weekend!!!  And Barner's can make their "UA"!!!  How awesome is this - Finally something to do with all those huge bags of beads in our attics.  I will have to confess I have already been crafty with my Mardi Gras Beads this year - I made an "Ugly Christmas Sweater/Shirt" out of a long sleeve camo shirt, and hand-stitched Mardi Gras Beads on it, in the design of a Christmas Tree - which I plan on sharing with you when I wear it again!!!  I thought it was by far the ugliest/tackiest thing I had ever seen - but the one time I wore it I had compliments and get this - I even had a couple of women ask me where I got it (yes, I promise - can't make that crap up)...

I just love these bottles.  And sooo simple.  Just take empty wine or booze bottles and spray paint any color you like.  Personally I think Silver or Gold shiny, sparkly or glittery paint will look the best.  Then Just write whatever you like on them.  There were no directions for these, but to me it looks like they spray painted the insides (not outsides), but either way will look nice.  I am going to make some this weekend.
