What can I do with a wine bottle?

CathyB	I have the champagne bottle we drank to celebrate getting engaged. I'd love to have it flattened and hang it in our room, but I can't find any companies that do this. I can only find already flattened bottles. A friend of mine turned hers into a lamp, but I'm not loving that idea. Any other ideas? Posted 10/4/05 11:41 PM
Christine	What about preserving just the label, cork, etc in a shadow box? Posted 10/5/05 12:27 AM

I was at Corbin & Reynolds a few weeks ago and I saw the CUTEST idea for corks! They had them in planters. Instead of that saw dust stuff they used corks. I thought it was such a good idea.. ya have to drink a lot of wine to fill up 1 planter though.. Posted 10/5/05 9:24 AM
CathyB	Thanks for the ideas! We don't really drink, so it would take us to our 50th anniversary to fill up a small planter. Posted 10/5/05 9:46 AM
babyhopes	do you have any pic's from the night? How about making a collage on the bottle out of the pics (leaving the label exposed) and either use it as a vase...or candle holder? Posted 10/5/05 2:04 PM

butterfly22	I turn bottles into water vases for flowers or plants. I have ivy growing out of bottles from our first time together at the vinyards Posted 10/28/05 11:04 AM

dpli	I have a flattened bottle that we use as a cheese board. I bought it already flattened, but if you want, I can look for the woman's name who made it and FM you her contact info. ETA: she is local - Nassau County Message edited 11/30/2005 1:54:04 PM. Posted 11/30/05 1:53 PM
krwm	When I was at ceramics last night the owner showed us some wine/champagne bottles that she had flattened and she said she does it pretty cheap. Not sure how close you are but its Rosemaries Ceramics in East Meadow. Posted 12/6/05 10:23 AM
