Creations, Decoupage “Bottlescape”

 

Thursday was stormy and rainy,

perfect for an indoor project!

 

 

 

 

 

I had a large plastic water bottle and a pretty clear glass wine bottle,

that I’d saved in my craft stash …

I got out the Mod Podge, tissue, patterned paper napkins,

glass beads and paint,

and the fun began!

 

 

 

 

I soaked the glass bottle to remove the labels

and then painted colorful abstract shapes all over it

 

 

 

 

I cut the glass beads off an old costume jewelry necklace

for some 3 dimensional bling!

 

 

 

 

Small stones were glued around the neck

and I had a decorative blue ceramic knob that fit inside perfectly

 

 

 

 

 

I forgot to take a before photo of the plastic bottle below

I didn’t remove it’s label, just decoupaged over it

with various pieces of torn patterned tissue paper and napkins

 

 

 

 

When the Mod Podge was dry,

I added a few accents with paint pens,

and glued paper flowers and a crystal knob on top

 

 

 

 

 

Friday dawned bright and sunny

I set the table outside with my new pretties, fishes, and other blue bottles

 

 

 

 

A perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee

 

 

 

 

HHjr bought flowers on his last grocery run,

{so sweet, he knows how much I love them}

I told him he was so smart to buy Alstroemeria because they last for weeks

 

 

 

 

So gorgeous against the blue sky!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a gift of a beautiful day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love decoupage because anything goes and you can get crazy

 

 

 

 

Happy bright additions to the beach decor 🌞

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I’ve inspired you to let loose and do something a little crazy!
