Glass Bottle and Tin Can Repurpose
Hello! So glad you could join me today. You know I love really simple craft projects and this Glass Bottle & Tin Can Craft fits the bill perfectly. I like that you can use any color paint too… and I feel like there are so many uses, especially for the tin cans. I could see these clustered together as a centerpiece at a baby shower, bridal shower or even a casual wedding. They have a soft, shabby chic feel and I bet they could even work in a bathroom, craft room or office as organizers!
The Jasmine is blooming, along with the Roses…
A little ribbon scrap was all that I needed for a simple embellishment. A few twists & turns, a dab of hot glue, and I had a rose for an accent.
These tiny pink roses are so fragrant… just the two blooms were enough to perfume the air while I took these photographs.

Hmm, this is teaching me that maybe it’s time I started trying tequila, since the bottles are so stinkin’ cute:)

What great transformations! Don’t feel bad about paying $1.50 for the bottle…I paid $2 for one at an auction. From the distance I was at it looked like a nice decanter. Oh well…now I can make it beautiful like yours! Pinning it.

So cute, and I think one of my Hydrangeas would look fabulous in either one of these cute little containers….if you ever get tired of them and want to send them on to me…..I love the idea of using all the little sparkly knicky knacks you had on hand. I should go raid my kid’s bathroom. There has got to be some of those hair bands in there that they will never miss……
