Christmas in a Bottle DIY Ornament
"My daughter Candy made these and I am submitting them for her as she had a stroke 3 yrs ago and can only use the left side of her body. She does amazing crafts with just the one hand. She made these from a small water bottle and a regular water bottle. She does them all on her own including using a wood burner to cut the opening in the front of the bottles."
