Such a cool idea and what a great way to reuse old Nalgene bottles!
"I have about a dozen of these bottle that I used to take hiking and camping and they've been sitting in my closet since last fall with the chemical controversy and all. I was going to use them to store old nuts and bolts in but this is a much better idea. These could make for some very spanky patio decor.
