Crafty Crafty: Pretty Upcycled Glass Bottle Vase

September 3, 2013 By jbmumofone 6 Comments

This is such a simple upcycling craft.

I have recently been drinking quite a lot of Bottle Green cordials and each time I place the empty bottle in the recycling it seems like such a shame.  They are a really lovely shape.

Finally I decided to hang on to a few and see what I could make with them and a vase seemed an obvious choice.

For this all you will need is an empty glass bottle, craft gems/rhinestones which can be found in my amazon store and craft glue.

Upcycle Craft: Glass Bottle Vase

First I soaked the bottle for an hour or so in warm, soapy water before removing the labels.

Then I simply stuck on the gems. I had bought self-adhesive ones but found that after a while they began to drop off so have now secured each with a small bit of craft glue.

This could now be used as a very pretty candle-holder but I decided to use mine as a vase. I think this is something children would love to create and would also make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift.

I now plan to make several more and turn them in to Christmas trees for a pretty Christmas table centrepiece.

Stay tuned.

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
