Go green and reuse those empty beer bottles for unique and affordable floral centerpieces! The look can be customized based on the size, shape, and color of the beer bottles. Change the design by adding lace and/or burlap for a wedding or bridal shower. Try using wild flowers for a more summery look!Photo props make great additions to any floral centerpiece, so for my Oktoberfest party, I used Oktoberfest Photo Props in this centerpiece.

Step
1

Soak empty beer bottles in water for 30 minutes to loosen the labels. Use a non-scratch sponge to remove paper and glue. I also like to use cleaners that remove glue residue. Dry bottles.

Step
2

 Arrange the beer bottles in groups of three. Take a glue dot and stick it to one end of the jute cording. Press this end to one of the beer bottles. Begin wrapping the jute cording around the middle of all three bottles, pulling tight to hold them together. Keep wrapping until the desired layers of jute cording are achieved. Use another glue dot to secure the end of the jute cording to the bottle.

Step
3

Cut ribbon to wrap around the jute cording. Secure ribbon with glue dots.
