DIY -restyle your empty bottles or jars-

Wowie i just saw that we've have 100 followers!! Maybe time for a little blog party soon?!

I have a lot of empty bottles from juices or jars that were filled with food. Usually we through them away in special glass containers, but before i through them away i always look if they can be used as a little vase. I keep the pretty shaped ones and although i like them just the way they are, it's also nice to give them some color from time to time! And this is how we are going to do this today...

DIY -restyle your empty bottles or jars-

Step 1 supplies

You will need:

-an empty bottle or jar

- some pretty papers

-buttons (medium or big)

- scrapbook flowers in different colors

-raffia, yarn, lace

-double sided tape

-siccors

Step 2

I used pretty Japanese paper that i usually

use for origami. See if your paper fits the

bottle. If not cut the piece off that you don't need.

Step 3

Use your doublesided tape and secure it

on the back of the paper, like this. Take

step 4

You can choose to do your bottle

half with paper or all round.

If you want to make it all round,

you can do that at once if your paper

is big enough or in 2 parts (like i did).

Make sure that they are at the same

height, by starting were you've

ended.

Step 5

Make a little flower just for decoration.

I used a piece of lace that i normally use for

making necklaces :) Pull it through the flower

and then the button. Confirm it on the bottle

were you like and make a knot.

Step 6

You're done!

If you want to use it as a vase,

be careful when you put water in it!!

It's still paper and it would be a pitty

if it got wet ;)

Did i inspire you enough to make one of your own?
