I make these every year for my grandkids and the daycare kids.

You can really stuff a lot into these bottles.....

Ok, so do you cut a hole in the bottles? Then how do you seal them?

Sheilajoyce you cut a slit or flap in the bottle and the label covers it up after you tape it shut. You can also cut the bottle in half for bulkier items and do the same.

How about a real-life room? This was my son's nursery. These are older pictures as he just started Kindergarten(!) and it's been changed to a "big-boy" pirate room instead of a nursery. The crib has been converted to a full and there's a side table to the left now. The ugly carpet and couch have been removed and there's a huge table with a porthole in it's place. The rocking chair is gone now too. The ceiling fan has been painted. See below:

Kid’s Closet Storage Help Please ♀️
Q
Comments (8)
When kids toys and bits and pieces are all over the house or piled in piles or boxes, it all becomes one big scramble of mess. My own now grown kids never had so much that it was hard to keep up with. But, my grandchildren have so darned much stuff with little parts that never are all in one place that most of it is just worthless junk. If you can manage to cull it out and take the best of them, put the pieces all together and put them on a shelve, take them out to use them and put them back there will be more appreciation for more of them. Having too much is the bane of our clutter and mess. I know it sounds like a lot of effort, but having fewer things to wrestle with is the key to enjoying it all more. When you begin to look for alternative storage ideas it is evidence that you need to look to pare it all down. You can't stuff ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag.

OK...let's look at budget. You have 210sf of space. You will want to purchase 10% more for waste/damaged/unusable planks. That means you need to purchase 231sf (to the nearest box). Now let's look at budget per square foot: $1000/231sf = $4.32/sf total costs. The cork will do very well with this. At $2.78/sf + $1/sf for transport you are still at $3.78/sf. What's the underlay?

Totally cute!! The labels are very cute!!
When the kids were younger I did bottles for all the holidays.
It was fun to take them to the post office to mail. The clerks all had to look them over and try to see all the things inside.
Your kids are going to love these, and love YOU for making them!!!

I've seen this idea before, but forgot about it till I saw your post.

I haven't drank a soda for weeks, but am going to try to drink 3 today so I can make 3 small ones before tomorrow night! lol My DD in college will appreciate the cash I put in hers.
