    Easy Peasy Bottle Tutorial

    I just was creating some bottles for my website and

    figured it was time for a blog post ~

    Soooo I decided to take some pictures along the way ~

    They are crummy pictures because it was late and the

    lighting stunk ~

    Anyway they are super duper easy but really fun and

    you can be creative with tons of variations ~

    First gather your stuff to use ~

    I am using vintage bridal lace, crinkled seam binding,

    a vintage skeleton key and vintage jewelry for this bottle ~

    Then I cut the lace to fit the bottle and used

    Modge Podge to make it stick to the bottle ~

    Next I tied on a vintage skeleton key with

    tea dyed and crinkled ribbon ~

    The tutorial is here for the ribbon ~

    And last you just hot glue on a vintage piece of jewelry ~

    Here are some other variations that I have done recently ~

    It is fun to gather old pieces of lace, ribbons, broken jewelry

    and just start creating !

    { I have had tons of questions on where to get the

    bottles ~ I just find them at flea markets }
