- 1). Place a dead tree about 4 or 5 feet tall in your yard or flowerbed. Make sure it has strong top limbs, as you want each limb to hold a longneck pop bottle; the bottles will take over the tree. Strip any leaves off the limbs.
- 2). Place a post in the ground for an alternative version of the bottle tree. Drill holes in it on all sides to accept 10-inch-long round dowels pressed into place at an upward angle to hold the bottles.
- 3). Collect longneck bottles, such as blue ones for a traditional look. Or mix it up and put a blend of colors, or all red, according to personal preference. Note that using just one color makes a greater impact. Place these on the limbs or dowels.
- 4). Plant a climbing vine that flowers all summer to grow up the bottle tree.
