Frosted Glass bottles = winter wonderland

 

For a good laugh you will have to read to the end. It is pretty funny.

I have this good friend. Her name is Caryn. 

She is my other crafty partner in crime.

She is always coming up with fun projects. Now that I have this blog to share ideas I have been on her case to take pictures as she makes her cute things. I finally got her to do it. You will love how easy these are to make. 

You can tell Caryn is also a ‘blogaholic’ because she sent me directions as if she was a professional blogger herself. I know she secretly wants to be. 

I’m so happy that I can fulfill your dreams Caryn. You are welcome.  

Take it away Car

Ok if I must…

I got the inspiration for these bottles and display from…

http://cleverlyinspired.blogspot.com/2010/12/wine-bottleschristmas-display_14.html

 

1) Empty Bottles

2) Prime and paint…You do not need to remove labels (even if know-it-all hubby insists that it’s going to show and you don’t know how to craft.)

I love when I’m right…I say that as if that’s not always the case…:)

I think I did 1 prime and 2 paint coats.

3) Sprinkle generous amount of Epsom salt on newspaper.

4) Spray adhesive all over base of bottle rotating as you spray.

5) Roll the bottle in salt and/or apply by hand the parts the salt doesn’t reach.

6) Let dry.

7) Decorate and enjoy! (Then roll your eyes when know-it-all hubby says ‘It actually looks pretty good!’)

blog2If you don’t want a large display like this, using these cute single bottles in a little corner would be fun too!

Cost:

Bottles…depends on how fine your tastes are :)
Paint/Primer and Adhesive most of you crafters will have.
Pack of 16 mini ornament balls at Target Dollar Spot- $1
Epsom Salt – $3 for that huge bag
Sticks – Stolen from my mom and dad’s yard.

I followed this tutorial to make the icy branches

I already had the pinecones and tea light holders.

So, really this project only cost $4?!!

Satisfaction of creating something yourself…

It’s worth all the mess and time..right?!

~Caryn

Yes, yes it is Caryn!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful display.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Now to show you a craft picture FAIL.

We really did get a good laugh out of this picture.

That’s Caryn’s dog Libby. She’s a good girl.

She doesn’t understand why we love to craft.
