Spring Bottle in Bloom!
Welcome to the March Creative Craft Blog Hop
A big thank you to Sara @Birdz of a Feather for hosting!
And welcome friends, readers and visitors from Pretty DIY Home
Are you seeing signs of Spring where you live?
Spring has sprung in the Deep South
and things are bursting into blooms everywhere you look,
even on this bottle!
I love to save interesting shaped bottles and transform them
This whiskey bottle had a nice square shape
I used tissue paper, paint and faux flowers to decorate it
I folded the tissue paper sections in half
and the double thickness disguised the label
so I didn’t have the tedious task of removing it
I painted the first area with Mod Podge
and then applied green dotted tissue
and brushed Mod Podge over it
and then did the same with the striped flower tissue
Because each section of tissue was folded,
the edges were nice and clean
Once the Mod Podge was completely dry
I used a glue gun to add flowers
Because there wasn’t any Mod Podge
in between the folded tissue layers
I did have a few problematic places
where it wrinkled a little~
BUT!
I was going to apply the faux flowers randomly anyway
so I just placed them on top of any problem areas to cover
Then I added a ring of flowers around the base of the bottle neck
Next a few polka dots with acrylic craft paint
I used the tip of the paint brush handle to apply the dots
A small bouquet of faux flowers replaced the bottle cap
It looks cute with the faux flowers or the cap
And with real flowers!
A bottle in bloom will brighten any room!

A super cute vase upcycling your bottle Jenna! I love your choice of striped floral tissue paper, painted dots and flowers on your bottle. Happy Thursday ♥
Thank you Mary, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
Your spring bottle looks so cheerful with those bright colors! I like the 3-D effect by using the little flowers. All your other bottles look awesome, too!
Thank you Allyson, as you can see, I love to decorate bottles 🙂
Love your spring bottles…a fun and easy project!
Thank you Angie!
Wow, Jenna! You certainly have a knack for creating unique and adorable bottle vases! Love the spring time theme and 3D effect! What a playful design with a touch of whimsy! Looks like you had too much fun and never disappoint with your creativity!
Thanks so much Gail, as you can tell, I love to decorate bottles!
Jenna, this is such a pretty way to upcycle bottles and they turned out lovely! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you Cecilia!
Jenna, love how your bottle decor turned out, looks amazing. Happy Easter my friend!
Thanks so much Terrie! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!☘️
I adore your project with the real flowers Jenna! If ever I need bottle inspiration, I know where I’ll come to see your amazing transformations! I’ll need to pop by more often to experience Spring vicariously through you too; we’re still buried in snow here in the great white north lol.
Thank you so much Sara! I love flowers and I love color so it was a natural for me. Sorry about the snow, Spring is coming, I promise!
If you promise, I know it will happen lol!
Such a cheerful full of Spring colour craft idea. Sad to say inside is the only way I am seeing Spring colours. We have loads of snow yet. This bottle would be cheery in our home. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Leanna, this bottle really brightens up the room! Spring is on the way, I promise!
Your bottle turned out so cute! I love the little flowers too. Don’t you just love when you can disguise a mistake and it looks even better than when you started out?! Your painted bottle is so pretty as well! Great hopping with you as always! Pinned.

Thanks so much Niki!
I LOVE these! So colorful and happy. They would make great gifts. So smart! I am always recycling Topo Chico bottles… thinking I need to make a few of these. Always fun hopping with you!Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much Tammy!
LOvE these! So pretty and happy. I love all of the bright colors and you are so right – they would make great gifts. Always fun hopping with you!
You’ve inspired me, Jenna. I have a couple of bottles I’ve been saving and they would definitely benefit from this treatment!
Thanks so much Ann, have fun with your bottles!
Very nice! I love your idea of covering up the bottles rather than the long process of removing labels and glue.
Thank you Linda, a fun and easy craft!
I love your choice of colors and the fun whimsical look of these Spring bottles. Looks like a project you had lots of fun making. Pinned!
Thanks so much Donna!
Sweet and creative!
Thank you Mary, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Jenna, I am loving your spring
bottle in bloom. This is a fun DIY for those of us that aren’t very crafty. I know you have enjoyed this beautiful day!
Thanks so much Pam, Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
What a lovely project–and so doable! I wish I had some interesting bottles to upcycle. Old jam jars get repurposed to hold my homemade Epsom bath salts but I don’t get many interesting bottles!
Thank you Kathy, it’s a fun and easy project!
I love them, so cheerful and fun! 💕🌸
Thanks Patty Anne!
Simply adorable. Such a happy craft.

Thanks Amalia!
What wonderful use of an empty whiskey bottle. I tend to love bottles that contain liqueurs, just imagine what I could do with one of those! Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re so welcome Pattie, have fun!
I love all your bottles Jenna – they are so pretty! the painted bottle is stunning! I agree with Amalia – such a happy craft. Thank you as always for your wonderful inspiration!
Thank you Kim, as you can see, I love to decorate bottles!
