They couldn't be any cuter, now I'll be on the hunt for itty bitty bottles. I've bout filled my bottle tree with all the tiny bottles that will fit, and am having a hard time finding more votives for my votive bugs, so on to something a little different. Also, I would think the small wire would be real easy to work with.

I can't figure out how to make them into bugs, but they sure are cute.
Would be fantastic on a string of lights.

My vet was throwing away some small insulin(?) bottles one day when I took My mini cat (Bitsy-smallest cat in the world) in for a visit, and I asked if I could have them. They saved me a whole gallon bag of little clear glass bottles. I made one bug, but got sidetracked on other things and have not made any more. ASK!

Beck, I was on that site a few days ago and saw all the bottles you have been talking about. Some I put on the list to order. My Son-I-L orders from them all the time. I have bought some blue bottles (different from the ones they have now) before. When I put it on his order I don't have to pay shipping-Grin.

Boy those are adorable and they don't take up much space! You wouldn't need a lot of room to have a whole swarm of them. Now I'll be on the look out for some small bottles. Thanks for the inspiration!

Very cute!! I think I have a couple of 1 1/2 to 2 in. bottles& they would work altho your's look smaller than that! I need something else in my yellow climber, I just have 2 sets of tiny wind chimes. (store bought) in it, this will give it some personality!!TFS Jan

Those are so cute! I'm thinking use in house plants or pots outside.
Sylvia sent me some little bottles including insulin bottles for SJJ. I just can't bend wire for some reason so it looks good. I've made one of a different style, will post when I have more.
