Message in a bottle

A great book needs a great bookmark. I like this project because it can be made really sweet, really girly, or really cool depending on who you are planning to give it to.

For this project you will need:
A small glass vial
Something to put inside it
Heavy wire
Pliers
Wire cutters

Cut roughly 10" of wire and carefully bend it into this shape:

Make sure the loops on the ends are pointing outward.

Twist a new piece of wire into a small spiral the size of the bottom of your glass vial. Pressing the spiral against the bottom of the vial gently twist the long end of the wire around it (I recommend getting it started by twisting around your finger first so you don't break the glass).  Wrap it snugly all the way around the  top.

Cut the wire about 1" away from the vial, bend it upward and form a loop. Connect it to the loop on the shorter end of the wire piece you bent earlier.

Fill your vial. I filled one with tiny sea shells. But here is something even cuter:

 This one is for my husband. <3
