londonandlawson Posted December 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I found a plastic bottle on the beach and put some sand and water in it, but the bottle is ugly. What would you guys/gals recommend I use to display it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Sunsets Posted December 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2008 How about using a bottle from a kitchen store that has a cork stopper? I love to collect shells from the different beaches I visit and I put them in clear glass bowls. In Grand Cayman a couple weeks ago, I found a great conch shell.

Gathina Posted December 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I would think the water eventually would look old and nasty no matter which way you display it.

cb at sea Posted December 17, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2008 True--the water will get pretty funky, pretty fast! (there's alot of live stuff in seawater!) Take a tsp. of sand from the beach (if you must), but leave the water alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolugolini Posted December 17, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What would you guys/gals recommend I use to display it? I carry a few empty prescription vials with blank Avery labels. If I find memorable sand, I take a teaspoon of it and write the location on the label. Someday, I'll build a coffee table with the sand and local coins (which I always remember to pick up) imbedded in resin. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
