Didn't make these myself..but surely we could.. Just so happened I was on the Goodwill auction site and like always I go thru the craft section everyday, or a few times a day because stores from all over the country post items to this one site..so anyway happened to see these on there and was ready to order the bottles, and create something just like it. But then i said let me wait until the bidding is over..well low and behold I won them..for $15, on the box someone was selling them for $2.69 a piece so thats $128 something like that, so for $15 i got a steal,lol. Oh yeah its 42 of them, has 30 bible verses.

LOL whew i can feel you going off, LOL. When i saw it I was like oh I have got to make some of these..actually i had already designed a label in WC...but was waiting to see what size bottles i was going to order.. and then when noone was bidding on them, i said let me take a stab at it..and only 1 other person bid, and thank goodness they didnt get up early yesterday morning to bid more,lol, or maybe they really didnt want it.. If i make them myself just have to figure out how to do the perforated verses, can you even buy that type of paper? Or guess could just do the verses on a sheet and cut them apart.

Max I have cutter bee perforator tools like these...

Also my large paper cutter has a perforator blade with it.

Why not use cardstock cut the width and length and just perforate between verses?

Oh ok never saw one of those before...will have to check that out. Right probably could do 2 columns, if the font is small enough but good enough to read may get 30 to a side, and then perforate..hopefully i sell all of these and then i'll be making something similar..do some other messages in a bottle,lol.

I have never seen anything like this before...so was lucky to find these on there.. If we used a larger bottle could do larger font for the verses.

These are a neat idea! Something different. If anyone makes these up to share I would really like to try them. Maybe you can share the sayings??? Hope you are able to sell them all!

Not really sayings, it's 30 bible verses in each bottle. I'm selling them at a church bazaar so I'd think they would all sell,lol..

Wasn't really a buy Sharyn, they were on auction, I placed the winning bid. From what i've seen most of the stores do not ship internationally, ..Goodwill Industries is a company that helps disabled people, well mostly, they give them jobs, help with education and lots of other things in communities..so having this auction site is putting more money into the industry.
