Pretty Fall Craft With Old Bottles

Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Happy Tuesday, My Lovelies! How is your week going so far? I have been busy decorating for fall, and I recently made a nice little craft using craft paper and old bottles. I found the idea from this craft from a back issue of Daphne's Diary Magazine. This is the second craft I'm sharing this month: The first one was a forest inspired cloche. I will share the third and final one on August 31st.

Below are the items you will need for this craft:

You will need:

craft paper in fall prints

two or three old/vintage bottles that are smooth

tape

dried, faux, or real flower buds

washi tape (optional)

Tear your paper in a width that will look nice on your bottle. You will want some of the bottle to be visible like the examples at the top of the page. Tape the strip or strips into place. If you like, use decorative washi tape that coordinates with your paper. Place your flowers inside the vases and display.

I chose a couple of "real feel" orange roses from Michael's. I didn't want to use Mod Podge because I might want to change the paper at some point, and I was afraid if I used real flowers that I might ruin the paper filling the bottles with water. If you want something more permanent, you could use Mod Podge. If you use faux flowers, you might need wire cutters to safely and effectively cut your flowers to size.

Super easy! I placed them on our mantel.
