I am just crazy about this Birthday tissue paper, and bought it one day with no particular plan in mind…I also bought some other bright and happy prints and stashed them away for a future project
I also save interesting bottles, like this opaque black 19 Crimes Chardonnay…the label caught my attention and I actually do like this bold “hard chard” from Australia…
There is an interesting story about the label that you can read here
Also, there is a whole line of Australian 19 Crimes wines named after British criminals who were transported to Australia for their crimes…many fascinating stories you can read here. There is even a App you can put on your phone that will show you the story behind each label and crime when you scan the label. How cool is that??? Read more here
Thank you Jeanie, the Marmalade Gypsy for sharing your wine knowledge!
I have decoupaged several of these square whiskey bottles too, so I decided to make “Birthday” bud vases for 2 of my BFFs for their March birthdays
It was kind of a hot mess when first applied, but once it dries it settles down
I painted some mock birthday candles on the wine bottle neck and painted the glass swirls on the whiskey bottle neck
I also added some thin colored baker’s twine for a finishing touch
Bright flowers and a cupcake stamped tag
And a Birthday Cake white chocolate bar {Trader Joe’s}
Just a silly simple gift…
And they both loved their Birthday Bottles!!
