Xmas Bottle Vase & Daisy Elf

Recycled an Angry Orchard (daughter likes AO) bottle to make this Christmas Bottle Vase.

Spray painted the empty bottle. Added some ribbon. Stamped a tag. Can you see the word 'BEE' & the Bee I made from felt and used some cardboard/chipboard on back of it for dimension?
