Cottage & Family [Search results for vintage skeleton key] 

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 }

I just love these sweet little salt and pepper shakers and wanted to do something fun with them ~

Vintage buttons and vintage skeleton keys are some of my favorite things ~ So I decided to combine them into one sweet little vignette piece ~

I bough this Patina kit at Michaels ~
The first thing that you do is paint the entire shiny lid with a coat of the Blackened Bronze ~

The next step is to put a light coat of Patina Blue Antiquing Solution while the bronze coat is still tacky ~

Then when the lids are dry I fill them with vintage white buttons and tie the lid with seam binding and a vintage skeleton key ~

Then gather the each fabric strip
right on one edge
( don't gather the sheer strip )
~ I used my ruffler foot
which I pretty much love!

After they are gathered I cut snips
about every 1.5 inches randomly
and ripped each snip
almost to the gathered edge ~

Next stack all the layers with
the shear on top and stitch through all ~

Then cut a circle to fit out of canvas and
glue it on top of the ribbons ~

After that I tied a vintage skeleton key
to one of the ribbons and glued a pin on the back ~

That is it!

I think I got on a key craze today when I was making soldered charms ~ I love pink ribbons, vintage skeleton keys and anything Paris soooo here is a peek of what I created today ~ there is also a new glittery crown charm that is so sparkly and a new chandelier charm coming soon !
