Metal Pen Decorated Bottle - sand filled bottle with new cork stopperI used to have a set of three square bottles that I could fill with sauces when inviting guests over for dinner. Unfortunately, two of the bottles broke and for the remaining bottle, the cork got lost. I love the shape of the bottle, so I decided to use metal pens and colored sand to upcycle the bottle into a beautiful décor item for a window sill.
