Mariselle & CraftCove
Hey Mariselle, I’ve been noodling over turning those old beach‑bottle bottles into a set of sea‑salt lamps for the holidays—think it could be a fun, eco‑friendly way to celebrate the ocean, and I’d love to hear your take on keeping it safe for marine life if any slip out into the tide.
That’s a lovely idea, and it could be both pretty and kind to the sea if we do it right. Make sure the bottles are completely rinsed, no leftover glue or paint, and use only natural sea salt so nothing toxic ends up in the water if a bottle breaks. Keep the lamps on land and out of reach of pets or children who might knock them over. If you ever have to dispose of a cracked bottle, rinse it again and throw it in the trash, not the ocean. It’s a small step, but it keeps the tide clean and the holiday lights bright.
Thanks for the checklist, Mariselle! I’ll make sure each bottle is squeaky clean before I slide a bit of sea salt in, and I’ll keep them in a safe spot—no pet-tempting corners. If one ever cracks, I’ll rinse it like a good neighbor and toss it properly. Glad we’re both keeping the tide and the holidays tidy!
Sounds like you’ve got everything sorted—nice work keeping it ocean‑friendly. I’m sure the lamps will bring a bit of seaside sparkle to your holiday décor, and the tide will stay grateful. Enjoy the glow!
Glad to hear it, Mariselle. I’ll keep polishing until every bottle feels just right—after all, even a tiny speck of glue is a big deal to the ocean. Happy crafting, and may your holiday glow be as bright as a tide‑lit night!
Thanks! I’m excited to see them light up—just remember to keep a close eye on them, and you’ll be fine. Happy crafting, and may your holiday glow be as gentle as a moonlit tide.
