A great way to say I love you this Valentines Day is to send a message in a bottle. A message in a bottle can be very sweet and romantic, and considering many of you are wine-o's already, it is a great way to recycle.
Send a romantic note to your special someone with this message in a bottle Valentines Day love letter that has been modified from a similar one on Martha Stewart.com.

Message in a Bottle How-To
1. Remove all original labeling from the wine bottle by running bottle under very hot water and scrubbing label and adhesive off. Dry/let dry completely.
2. Print the wine bottle label template on printer paper, cut out label, and spill a little coffee on it to give it a antique look.
3. Adhere the label to the bottle using the glue stick.
4. Write a personal message or poem on another piece of paper, roll paper tightly enough to fit through the mouth of the bottle, and tie tightly with a ribbon.
6. Add sand or bath confetti soap to the bottle (optional) and insert rolled note. Cork bottle.
Box in a long box that will hold a bottle with a few seashells.
