Creations, Glamorous Gold Bottle
Welcome to the 4th week of
There’s No Place Like Home Autumn Blog Hop!
Thank you Rachelle of My Hubbard Home for hosting

You can visit all of my talented crafty blog friends
on the links at the end of the post
Now, let’s get crafting!
One of my favorite things to upcycle is a glass bottle,
there are so many things you can do with them!
This is a liqueur bottle that I saved because of it’s unusual square shape
One side is copper and gold and the other side has several discs of aqua
I used paint, pieces of old jewelry, small tiles, and flat sided glass beads
I painted the bottle white
and painted the rectangular insets with gold
Gold paint can be tricky,
I found my craft gold paint was thin and didn’t cover well,
so I used artist’s acrylic gold to achieve an opaque result
I painted abstract designs on the black glass flat sided beads
with quick strokes using a small brush
When the bottle paint was dry I laid it down
and played with the different various embellishments
until I had a composition I liked
and then glued everything in place with a glue gun
and did the other side
The top was painted gold and embellished with discs
that would match both sides of the bottle
I gave the bottle “shoulder pads” with gold glass beads
and smaller painted black beads
and put another painted black bead in the center of the top
Each side also got a painted black bead
I have been enjoying it in the family room,
in the corner on a shelf in the secretary
It also looks nice on the dining room table
with other seasonable elements
I like the copper side for Fall and can display the side with aqua
in the Spring and Summer

Jenna, what a fun way to use a bottle and make it glamorous! I need to return to my crafty side from years ago. I love that you made two different looks, a spring and fall. Happy Wednesday 🙏🏻
Thank you Pam, I have really been enjoying creating new things from old, great therapy!
Jenna, what a great recycle craft. I never thought about turing a bottle into such a lovely work of art. You must get a lot of compliments on it, and questions on how it was done. Thanks for sharing the instructions with us!
Thanks so much Rachelle!
Jenna, what a fun project! I was looking at this, taking in all of the details, and thinking this is just the reason I love crafting, to be able to transform something and just let whatever happens, what happens. Your bottle is a great little addition to your fall vignette!
Thanks Chloe! Don’t you love fun and free?!?!
Jenna, your bottle is so glamorous and beautiful! It is the perfect accessory to complete a vignette. It looks so pretty in both your secretary, and I love the aqua side with the MC pieces. It looks like it was made to go with them. Happy Wednesday!
thanks so much Shannon, a fun and free project!
Jenna, how clever dressing up and doing a recycle on these pretty bottles. I also thinks it’s nice to use a variety of old jewelry and old buttons and whatever we have. So many pretty vignettes around your home. This bottle, so pretty on both sides really makes a pretty addition to your bottle collection…….Happy Wednesday.
Thanks Emily, it was such a fun project, some of the pieces I used were parts of jewelry that I loved so much I basically wore it out, so it’s fun to still keep enjoying it this way!
I love these. So creative.
Thank you Rebecca!
Jenna, I love your creativity! I’m glad I’m not the only one who looks at objects and sees the potential in them for a little paint and embellishment. Yours turned out so sweet. I think I have that same gold paint, too! 🙂 Happy to be on this hop with you!
Thanks Crissy! I love to make crazy bottles!
Hi Jenn, what a fun up-cycling project. I love the way your creative mind works. Your darling bottle is a cute fall addition!
Thanks so much MIchelle
Wow, Jenna! Who would believe that is really an Italian liquor bottle? Very nice transformation and it looks perfect with your decor!
Thanks Debra, I can’t stand to throw pretty bottles away 🙂
You are seriously so creative! I would never have thought of this! Such a fun way to use up old jewelry! Fun idea!
Karin
Thank you Karin, some of the jewelry has sentimental value and using it this way means I can keep enjoying it!
How fun is this hop! Great recycle of the bottles Jenna! I would of never of thought you used empty bottles, I really thought you purchased those cute bottles. You give us all inspirations, thank you!
Thank you Terrie, I love to recreate pretty bottles, fun craft!
Jenna this is SO cute! I love how you decorated them – the jewelry and glass are beautiful! My mom used to do something a little like this, and it brought back wonderful fun memories. Thanks for that and for all the inspiration! Such fun doing another hop with you!
Thanks so much Barbara, I love to decorate and upcycle pretty bottles!
These are really cute, Jenna, both of them. It’s a terrific upcycle and there’s a lot of use for them!
Thanks Jeanie, I love to give something new life!
What a fun idea to recycle an old bottle! I love how you decorated it!
Thank you Lynne, it was a fun project!
It’s such a smart thing to upcycle old bottles… and you’ve really used your imagination and resources for this one! Fun hopping with your for the first time!
Thank you Julie, we have a great group!
Well, I really like that, Jenna! It looks great in the cabinet with the CC, and also with your lighter, Parchment look!
Thank you Rita, I love the way it turned out 🙂
Jenna, what a great way to use a glass bottle for a fall decoration. Very pretty and nice to use embellishments you already had. I’ll have to tell Sweet Shark to save our Amaretto bottles.
The square bottles are so pretty, I still have another one waiting for a makeover! Thanks Carol 🙂
What a nice fall decoration, but could be designed for any season. I’ll be saving unusual bottles for future projects; thanks for the great ideas.
Thank you Linda, I love giving bottles a makeover!
I totally love this idea! My husband and I tend to keep especially nice liquor bottles, but I never thought of this approach to decorating them. I will be featuring this idea in this week’s Creative Compulsions.
