Have you seen the new Diet Coke “It’s Mine” bottles at Kroger?  I first noticed them at the lake when we were picking up dinner one evening and spent a long while looking at each bottle’s fun pattern.  Every bottle’s pattern is unique and best of all, the bottles are glass.  I grew up drinking Coca Cola out of glass bottles and to me that’s when it tastes the very best.

I’ve enjoyed Coca Cola for as long as I can remember.  When I was a teen I switched over to Diet Coke when I realized that I had to watch my calories.  30+ years later, I still love to enjoy a Diet Coke.

A fun way to display decorative bottles and to use them with fresh flowers is with the Industrial Style Hanging Bottle Holder that I created.  This was easy to make and really shows off both my pretty spring flowers and the bottle’s fun patterns.Industrial Style Hanging Bottles

My Kroger is being remodeled.  I found my Diet Coke “It’s Mine” bottles on a display at the end of the temporary beverage isle.  At the lake they were in a prominent display at the front of the store.

It took a while to decide on the three that I wanted to use for my Farmhouse Style Hanging Flower Holder but in the end these three were what I selected.  Aren’t the colors and patterns on these three bottles amazing?  Not only are bottles available, but so are cans and they also have pretty and fun patterns.

Procedure

1.  Cut a board to 11 1/2” x 24”, route edges if desired, and stain.  Let dry.

 

2.  Attach a pipe clamp to one Diet Coke “It’s Mine” bottle to figure out where the hole should be to attach it to the board.  Use a nail set to punch a hole through the metal.Industrial Style Flower Holder How To3

 

Use a drill press to make the hole the same diameter as the screw.

I really like the industrial vibe that the pipe clamps give this project.  If you like the industrial look, be sure to check out the Industrial Style Paper Towel Holder that I shared a few weeks ago.Industrial Style Hanging Bottle HolderI

This project was quick to make and now I want to make another to showcase some of my vintage Coca Cola bottles.  Wouldn’t that make a great display?

  1. Those bottles are SO cool! I haven’t seen them before (but I don’t drink soda so that’s not surprising). I love that you used them as a display. Also, yayyyyy for the daffodils blooming!!

    1. Thanks, Mary Beth! Aren’t the designs neat? I’m planning to keep fresh flowers in mine all spring.
