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.
