Decorative vase
An unusual glass vase for flowers can be made from any empty bottle. First you need to cut off the top. To do this, we mark the place of the cut with a ribbon, then we draw a contour with a glass cutter. We heat the bottle over the candle, and then quickly lower it under cold water. A sharp temperature drop will have its effect on the glass, the bottom should fall away. Do not hold the bottle high so that the bottom does not break when dropped.

Dry both parts of the bottle, wipe. Then insert the top of the bottle in the lower neck down. Fill the bottom tank with water, lower the tape from the fabric, and on top you can place flowers. Rising on the tape, the water will feed their roots.
