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.

I mixed it myself! So sorry. I’ve seen lots of craft paint colors along these lines though, and Maison Blanche is fabulous on glass so I’d suggest that as well. Riviera with Magnolia would do wonders!

what a fantastic recycling idea; I just love how they turned out. I can’t wait to try some of these and I’m pretty sure I’ve got some of those sparkly ‘never worn’ barretts too.
Hugs
