Covid Crafting

AKA Lockdown Lunacy

To stave off boredom during this “interesting” time, many folks have taken up crafts or DIY projects that they normally had no time for. Now they have copious time and idle hands. I’ve seen some pretty amazing pictures posted of some of the things that have been accomplished. Embroidery, painting, sparkly dot pictures, knitted clothes for the pets! Things I wouldn’t do on a bet!

Besides, what with the coffee guzzling, gaining weight and day drinking, my schedule was pretty full anyway.

Then I got to thinking that as much fun as those 3 things were, none of them were what you’d call “creative.” There’s no real talent required. So I looked for a craft project that was within my capabilities. 

And here it is! Empty booze bottles with sparkly lights in them! What fun! Of course, the most fun was emptying the bottles in the first place…wink wink. And what better way to recycle them than turning them into something useful. Imagine yourself sitting in the backyard in the cool of the evening (assuming you live someplace where it actually cools off at the end of the day) and having these pretty bottles lighting up the area while you work on emptying more bottles. And once you’ve got all the sparkly bottles you want for yourself, you can start giving the extras as gifts! They might even inspire people to make their own!

So there ya go. Tune in often for more fun craft ideas…
