Ok some of you already know, but for those of you who don't, all year long I send away for free samples and then at Christmas time I put them in some sort of container and it becomes a gift for my teenage neice..this year I put them in a pop bottle...here is how I did it...

Empty and Clean out a 2 liter bottle. Remove the label

cut a slit in the side of the bottle. Not from top to bottom. Just big enough to get your hand and the items into it.


place all items into bottle through that slit

This is what one of my full bottles looked like..it was crammed full!!
You can then tape the slit with packageing tape (recommended for mailing)

Then I just put a piece of wrapping paper where the label use to be, slapped on a tag and put curly ribbon on the neck of the bottler...
Simple as that...hope that gives you all an idea on how this works.
