Magical Tranformations - A Pop Bottle Recycle

Oh I am so excited to share my latest creation. As part of the Creative Challenge, I cut up, painted and glitterized an empty plastic pop bottle. I'm not sure what to call it. It isn't a trinket box because it isn't a box. But it is a magical transformation.

 I think it turned out quite nicely. It`s so pretty. What princess room would be complete without it?


Supplies
  • Empty soda pop bottle
  • Sharp blade
  • Scissors
  • Primer and paint
  • Glue gun
  • Glue
  • Glitter
  • Broken jewelry, odds and ends

 Instructions
  • I started by spray painting the bottle with a grey primer.
  • once the primer dried I cut the bottle in half with a knife.
  • Using the scissors, I trimmed each half down even more, removing the straight part.
  • Still using the scissors, I cut out the rounded edge of the bottle top. It wasn't as hard as I originally imagined it to be.
  • Paint the bottle top and bottom contrasting colours so that the scalloped edge is shows up easily.
  • Add glue glitter and sprinkle glitter and more glitter. And more glitter.
  • Trim the scalloped edge of the bottle top with sequins and jewel stickers.
  • Add glue with the glue gun to the lip of the bottle to disguise it and add more jewel stickers.
  • My daughter has a nice collection of odds and ends. She let me use the turquoise piece which you can see at the top of my bottle. It was from an old perfume bottle and it fit perfectly.
  • I topped it all off with a diamond shaped bead.
  • It looked a little naked so I searched through my daughters stash and found some broken jewelry. I wired a couple of pieces together and wrapped it around the top of the bottle.

 My daughter, Christina and I had fun making these magical creations.

 Christina made this awesome purple and black glittered bottle topped off with a golden crown and wrapped in ribbon.

Here's the two of them together.


My granddaughter has already claimed them and found a place to sit them on her beside table.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
