Victorian Bottle Craft
Difficulty: Easy
Parental supervision is recommended
Recycle an ordinary bottle into a work of art with this easy, elegant Victorian Bottle Craft. A lovely gift for kids to make for any occasion.
What you'll need:
- Colored bottles
- Raffia
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Fabric paint
- Buttons
- Old jewelry
- Lace
- Fake jewels
- Fabric (with patterns)
How to make it:
- If you are coordinating a decorating theme, you can cut out
material that matches your color scheme and randomly glue
the pieces on your bottle. - Use fabric paint to color the trim of the fabric (to keep fabric from fraying) or glue lace around the fabric.
- Tie a piece of raffia into a bow around the neck of the bottle.
- Add buttons, jewelry, (I break the ear piece off pierced earrings and glue the pieces onto the bottle.) or any charms onto the bottle in random or decorative order.
Tips:
Simple, fast, and inexpensive. Estimated cost: $2-5.00 depending on what decorations you use. (Check out dollar stores for colored bottles, buttons, and earrings in bulk packages.)
