We use small glass bottles (about two–three inches tall) from treatment
centers that held Heparin Lock Flush, an inert non-toxic substance
used to "push" medication through IV systems. They are completely
safe. Many are thrown away every day and are free for the asking. You
can also use other small bottles such as those for contact lenses. If
the bottle has a metal cap, it can be removed with tin snips, and the
rubber stopper can be saved or a stopper of clay can be constructed.
The labels are soaked off in warm soapy water. Any method can be used
to cover the bottles. Try rolling out a thin sheet of clay and wrapping
it around the bottle. Then decorate it with thin slices of clay "canes,"
or sculpt additions of flowers, leaves, animals, etc. You can texture
the clay with lace, stamps, or tools. The clay covered bottle are baked
according to the clay manufacturers' directions (usually 250-275°F for
20 minutes). Bake without the top in place because air inside will expand.
I found this on another website and this seems like a great craft
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
