Make Your Own Crafted Bottles of Hope To Share Locally With People
The cancer patient hospital ward in Fargo, ND is a place where we can find people in my local community who need some hope. Who wouldn't love to receive a Handcrafted Bottle of Hope? It is a wonderful way to support your local community while spreading a little joy and hope to others. These are bottles that have been handcrafted with polymer clay to decorate them and give them a new life. Its a great way to recycle bottles, jars, decanters and much more. Pictured here are Hand Crafted Bottles of Hope for Cancer Patients.
Sometimes its the little things in life that mean so much to us!

My Hope is to Spread Some Joy and Laughter!
Make someone happy, make them laugh, and share some love! ~ Create it!
My dad died of cancer in the home. Not all cancer patients are able to be at home. You can find them in your community in your local cancer wards, adults and children.
My hope is that I might be able to inspire a few people to recycle those empty bottles and turn them into gifts. The landfills in Fargo, ND wouldn't be filling up as fast. Turn them glass bottles into handcrafted bottles of hope for cancer patients, but not just cancer patients. They make a nice gift and everyone is made a little happier when they receive a handcrafted gift, that someone took the time to make. They make great Christmas and birthday presents too.
You could handcraft a bottle that is funny to make for someone you know. Laughter is about the best medicine there is!

What is Polymer Clay?
Hobby Lobby in Fargo is a great place to buy polymer clay and bottles.
Polymer Clay is a sculpt-able material based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Usually it contains no clay material, and is only called clay because its texture and working properties resemble those of mineral clay. It can be purchased in craft and hobby supply stores or online, and is used by artists, hobbyists, and children love to play with it and create things too.
