Carry your box to where it belongs. 

Put your potting soil in the box.

Fold a piece of paper into a cone, leaving a hole at the bottom big enough for the stones and  soil to fall through but small enough to fit in the mouth of the bottle.

Put drainage stones in the bottles.

and start filling the bottles with the soil.

Plant and enjoy!

Very nice! Thanks, marking as best answer for sure! I bet you could paint the tops of the bottles or let the kids do that to decorate even more.
I love the idea of succulents, and they like that loose sandy soil and good drainage like I see here.  I was just told that the bottles could hold water and absorb heat during the day and prevent frost and shock at night.
