I saw a similar item on one of the scrapbooking blogs - using empty glass soda bottles and scrapbook paper and wanted to try something similar.
Since Jon loves to drink cream soda - and it comes in a six pack, I thought this would be a great "green craft".
First, we saved the empty bottles, caps and the cardboard holster. We washed them with hot soapy water and made sure they were dry.
I re-papered the cardboard holster with orange cardstock. It helps to reenforce the container, making it stronger and more colorful. I made little tags with Halloween images on them to tie around the bottles. I also cut out rounds to paste on top of the bottles, to hide the printing on the cap.
I filled the empty bottles with candies - Skittles, MnM's, Reeces and these Sweet n' Sour candies. Actually, finding candies that would fit inside the bottle was a bit of a challenge. I wanted the candies to look colorful.
I tied the tag around each bottle with orange raffia and decorated the container with decorative paper.
I brought it to the RVC health club and delivered it to the tennis pros! Very fun.
