My teens love the round Coke bottles that Wal-Mart is selling for Christmas. I keep thinking with this different shape, there should be something I could do with them. I thought about clipping off the spout and trying to paint them inside or out and craft an ornament, but realistically, I have more ornaments that I can put on the trees now. Any ideas?

I have a Coke tree in my Kitchen It is a aluminim silver tree with Coke Ornaments on it with Coke stuff under the tree If the tree is big enough, I would just hang them on it Why not, the trees show fun and makes people smile When I have my Open House each year, they always comment on the Coke tree

I thought that initially, but I already put up seven trees and have too many ornaments to fit those so the last thing I need is another tree with ornaments. Especially if I want my family to let me continue to live here.  Any other ideas?

On a talk show they were talking about dogs and cats getting under the tree They said use plastic bottles and put pennies, rocks, etc in them so when the pet gets under the tree, the bottle would make a noise and scare the pet. Hmm, another way to use bottles. Don't know exactly what would fit in the bottle necks but good thinking.

I know. All 4'8" of me. But would you have me any different?
I don't know where these things and words come from. They just pop out of my mind and right out through my mouth.

Oh Addie, I gotta keep the teens - I am sure one day way, way in the future I will want grandchildren so I will need them. He-he. Anyway, they are now gone from my Wal-Mart too, must have sold out. I gave up and recycled them.

Is there anyway that you could put the bottles together and make a snowman?

Hi, The Coke bottles are so cute and you will not believe what a very talented baker did with them. Her blog is http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow-globe-coca-cola-cupcakes.html. She is amazing. Take a few minutes to browse her posts and the amazing things she does. ~Chrissy

That is so adorable! I have not baked a Coca~Cola cake in years, and think I might have to do that this weekend. Just need to find my Coca~Cola frosting recipe.
I have been collecting Coca~Cola items for years. I have 4 Christmas wreathes with pine garland swags above my pocket doors from Nov to Jan, covered in Coca~Cola ornaments. I also have a Coca~Cola tree, and a full china cabinet of there Polar Bear figurines.
