Old Glass Bottles Made Pretty and Useful

Creating with my glass bottle stash!

 

I saw this cool idea on Pinterest one evening and I

really liked it! It said on the picture it was a tutorial,

but when I clicked onto the site it came from, Pinterest

wouldn't let it go through saying the page had a security

issue. Well it looked easy enough to do without the

tutorial so I decided I could wing it!

 

I have a large stash of glass bottles, and I love things

with twine on them. I also love working with paper

and using lace on things.

 

Heck, I love doing and trying anything at least once

and if it speaks to me.....we roll!

 

 

So.............I bounced up out of my chair, grabbed what

I needed to make one, looked at the picture one more

time, and dug in. Once I was done I decided I wanted a

top for the bottle. So I took the twine with my trusty

Modge Podge and starting wrapping the twine around

and around. I stuck the bottom of the wrapped twine

in the top of the bottle before it totally dried to make

sure it would sit inside the bottle. Then I kept wrapping

a little wider to give it a lip so it wouldn't sink in and....

wala....a bottle cap! I cut the twine long so I could tie

it to the bottle so it wouldn't get lost if it were to fall

off, added a little pearl in the top and it was done!

 

 

The cap actually kind of looks like a

tiny birds nest with an egg in it...

I liked that!

 

This was the first time I had made this type of paper flowers.

Omgosh are they fun!

 

This is the tutorial for the flowers I used here.

 

Just draw circles on paper, which for these I used

old book pages, and then cut the circles out on the

circle line you drew, then roll the paper.

 

After I finished the bottle I couldn't help but

keep making these flowers!

 

Had a bunch when I finally tired of doing them lol!

 

Two of the paper flowers have pearl

centers and one has a rhinestone.

I had to have a little sparkly ya know! :)

 

So this was mine all done!

and

This was theirs..................

 

 

Not bad and I love it!

Now I got two more to make to make a trio set.

 

I'll make each of those a little bit different and

with different laces. This is easy peasy and fun!

Always pays to keep the garbage! :)

 

P.S. I tried to get to the tutorial for this diy idea

and the site owner must have fixed the issue

because you can now access the site. But!...

it's in French! You can always do go to google

translate, copy paste the words, and it will

translate it to English for you....but you really

shouldn't need to do that....it's pretty easy to

figure it out on your own.

 

TaTa till later!
