I've been exploring an idea. I'm decorating bottles that I would otherwise discard. My bottle of water is hiding there in the background, I would rather not get paint on that.
First I spray painted a bottle with gloss white. The florals are from napkins. I decoupaged them onto the bottle using Golden's mat medium and then added some acrylic paint dots to give some connection to the florals and a sense of movement to the design.
You can see the details here. Did you notice the lid is still on the bottle and there is a cup hook on the lid? Yep. I had something else in mind when I spray painted the bottles. I will have to unscrew the cap and then touch up the white paint in that area.
I had fun playing with this idea. Have you tried anything new lately? A new paint? A new crochet or knit stitch? A new recipe?
Love your decorated bottles. I'm always trying new things, some turn out well and others not, but it's all fun. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI thought your bottle turned out grand. I thought perhaps you were making a light when I saw the cup hook. The bottle turned out great, and I like the idea of it not ending in the recycle bin.
ReplyDeleteI have many things I want to try, but seem to have no time to create them. I really like your latest art project. Thanks for sharing it and your water with us for T this Tuesday. SO glad to see you back. I was really worried about you with all those fires in northern CA.
Gorgeous decorated bottle and a great idea to re use something that would perhaps get thrown into the recycling box.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day wishes.

I love your painted bottles! what a fun way to be creative-and useful as well.
ReplyDeleteI tried something new for me baking yeast breads in my outdoor "kitchen"
Happy T Day Kathy
Your altered bottle is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day Darla!
such a pretty bottle all spruced up! My list of things to try or play with is never ending:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy trying new things and I experimented with a new technique on my journal page on my T Day post 😁. Your bottles look so pretty with the flowers and patterns, and you created such a clean finish with the white spray paint that they look like pottery! Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊
ReplyDeleteGood to see you at tea, Darla. What's the internet problem? I hope it has been resolved, but maybe it's just because of where you are. The bottle is lovely. The green acrylic dots really add a lot.
ReplyDeleteI've tried quite few new things lately. I tend to jump around from craft to craft like a grasshopper. Lately, I've been playing with making my own stencils using an electronic cutting machine.
Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
Painting the bottles is such a good way to keep them from going to waste. And the napkin flowers! I'd never have thought of that cool idea :)
ReplyDeleteNothing new here, but I'm enjoying the old stuff ;)
Happy T Tuesday
Love how you decorated the bottle. That's a cool idea and a good way to recycle something that otherwise would go into the trash. Very pretty painting.
