Message in a Bottle Necklaces! This is the first craft I’ve ever promoted that endorses the loss of the project you make! That’s right, everyone knows that a “lost” message in a bottle is the most exciting ever. If you don’t believe me, check out these STORIES ABOUT LOST MESSAGES IN BOTTLES (one of the stories is actually about a balloon, but whatever.) It goes without saying that the “love token” or “love note” scenarios with one of these things has limitless options, but here are some other things you can do with your message in a bottle necklace:
- Wear it, put on some yoga stirrup pants, adjust your voice to the high-pitched tenor of Sting, then serenade people singing Message in a Bottle
- Store extra cheese sauce for your nachos at the Dodger game.
- Make a tiny molotov cocktail, throw it in the street and watch the scenario backfire miserably because the bottle is plastic. Hmmm. Okay, maybe don’t do this one.
- Use it as one of many clues on an elaborate scavenger hunt
- Write a dirty poem on the message and hand the bottle to someone on the bus as you are leaving.
- Fill it with Grape Gatorade for your upcoming Triathlon
- Keep that recipe for ambrosia salad handy, no matter where you go.
- Dawn your skipper cap, stand at the edge of the ocean, place the bottle in the water, salute, and watch your message it begin it’s journey.
So there you have it, I can’t say all of them are useful, but they’ll certainly get you thinking about the endless possibilities of what can be done with this amazing craft!
