This was made with cardstock, remnant fabric, a paint pen and the trusty hot glue gun.
I've seen split peas used in glass hurricanes on several blogs. Believe it or not, these had been in my "pantry" for about 3 months...They were spared from being turned into soup. I put some left over sugar sprinkles in the bottom of my small glass candle holders and hot glued a couple snowflake ornaments to two of the bottles. It came together in an evening, thankfully. This will probably be a one year appearance, but it was a fit for the budget this year.

Love the use of those bottles!
Lovely! Are the bottles glass? I've been collecting wine bottles & may have to do something similar (although the heights are all-out the same.)
Such a fun link up party... I made sure to add our tree to the list.
