Any ideas for a crafty project welcome …  
(It’s about 7" across if that helps !)

With a good stopper, it might make a nice decanter for expensive booze. It might make a good candle holder (or even a lantern if you wanted to mount some LEDs inside it).

Put in some flat live flowers. Then, instead of filling the vase with water- use flat soda.

Thanks people,  
The suggestions making it through to round 2 are …

- Sand art
- Led art
- Romulan ale (subject to availability)

I’d really like to fit a clock in there somehow…  
Just checked - i could get an arduino nano through the neck !!  
Watch this space.
