Here’s How… First: Get It Clean
Remove the label using hot soapy water and a flat tool. After soaking for a few minutes, they should peel right off.

Next: Roll It On Up
Take your favorite seashell or marble collection in a color that will match your decor and pour it into the bottle. Then take your picture, roll it up and stick it in the bottle as well. The picture will unravel and you’ll have an eye-catching picture frame.
