Stock the bar party

When your friend is getting married and you need a gift for a couple that has everything, what do you do?
You throw a stock-the-bar-party.   Then the next question is: how do you make it cute?

Saw this on Pinterest and in my mind, it's cute and easy, so took on the challenge.

Turns out, I did not calculate the weight or support.  Basically, you get a flower pot, a floral foam, we did a sphere one, stuff some gift tissue at the bottom, and stuff some basket grass, and add.  From the few sites I saw was glueing skewer sticks at the back.  When in fact, they didn't tell you to check how heavy your bottles are.  

My tip here, if it's glass bottle, use a to-go chopstick, if it's plastic bottle, a regular skewer might be alright - better yet, double up on the stick.  That said, you also need to consider the weight because when we were moving it, the weight force the bottles all roll forward, well - yeah, it's a sphere, of course it would.   So keep that in mind.

We found a bow from something else and stuck it on the front and it went with the rest nicely.
