Potion Bottles

Today's project is a step-by-step tutorial for fantasy themed altered bottles. These particular bottles are from Vanilla and trial size Olive Oil.

~ Potion Bottles ~

I am thrilled to say that with the exception of the bottles, twine, and tiny type, ALL of the supplies to decorate these bottles are available at The Robin's Nest Store!!!

Step 1: Clean bottles and let dry thoroughly. The dish washer works great for removing labels, but be sure to remove the paper from the filter!!!

Step 2: Cut feathers from Blue Glitter Chipboard. Paint lower two thirds of feathers white, leave to dry.

 Step 3: Apply Doily Die Cut to bottle using extra strength adhesive tape. Using the same method apply Orange Crush Card to bottle. Add lettering.

Step 4: Add assorted Dew Drops to doily and card.

Step 5: Wrap Natural Twine around neck of bottle, glue Natural Seashells to ends. Wrap twine around bottle at center of card, tie in back.

I love medieval themed items and often use them as year-round decor. If that is not your style then group these bottles in strategic areas for Halloween!

Supplies:
Decorative Supplies:The Robin's Nest
Feather Dies:Lawn Fawn

Tooth-In-Waiting

Today's project is a tooth holder I concocted from a baking soda tin. Gotta keep those pearly whites looking fabulous for when the tooth fairy arrives!!!

Not Forgot

Today's project is a mini-album to commemorate those fur babies that have gone over the rainbow bridge.

~ Not Forgot ~

For this project I began with the Chipboard Frame from Gina's Designs.

I spread glitter paste across the surface. Before that dried I added glue and a dusting of large glitter.

For the album I cut 5.75" circles from
Black and White Thermal Animal Cardstock
Rosy Diamond Cardstock
Pink Zebra Glitter Cardstock
Black and White Glitter Paws Cardstock
Pink Glittered Leopard Cardstock

I adhered the circles back to back and added washi tape around the edge.

For the hinge I punched 8 circles, 1.25" in diameter and glued them back to back.

I used brads to attach the circles between the pages.

For the the outer hinge I punched a couple 2" circle and glued them back to back. I used brads to attach the large circle to the first and last pages.

To complete the project I I die-cut a butterfly from the Khaki Glitter Cardstock, and rolled it through a paper crimper.

 I put a touch of glitter paste on the wing tips and dew drops down the middle.

 Pink Daughter Mini Dew Drops

Large Clear Dew Drops

Sunflower Dew Drops

To finish the album I adhered the frame to the front page then added the butterfly.

This album was easy to assemble with all the animal motif cardstock options from The Robin's Nest. Now I have a gift on hand to cheer a friend who has had to say goodbye to a four legged companion.
