Deer Head Bottles (from "Bottle Series - 3")


This is a quick project for little jars. I bought them at Michaels because of their cuteness.. Yeah, junker :)))  (did I just made that word? or is it pretty popular these days, ..because it is in my head, or if not, how do you call those people :) anyway ...).
So, you will need:
  • little jars 
  • deer head stencil 
  • spray paint (silver)
  • acrilic paint 
  • not very sticky glue, the one you can easily remove from the glass
First you will need to pour some acrylic paint inside the jar and then let the paint fill the area that you need to be painted (one side of the jar is good enough). 

Here are the deer heads: just save them to your computer and print, then cut the heads with a small scissors. Don't forget to click the picture for bigger image before saving. Or you can find them in Google search.
Then glue the silhouette to the jar side, make sure the glue is not really sticky because we need it just to hold the image in place. After that spray paint the jar, let it dry, remove the deer head and you are done!

Baileys bottle re-do! (tutorial) from "Bottle series - 1"

Baileys bottles have a nice shape, at least old ones had.. by the way, the baileys company just changed the design of their bottles, I don't know why, because I really like the shape of previous one..oh, well.

So maybe now I have  the last bottle of old design, here what I've done with it...


1. Remove the label by soaking the bottle in warm water. Than just rub it away. Easy.
 2. Than I painted the bottle with chalkboard paint and some acrylic "Robbins egg blue" paint.. I also added some antique white into blue.


3. Than you'll need twine of your choice, I have this hairy one, so I had to trim it after I was done gluing it. Haircut, you know.... And you can pick any decorations , but I had a sea star set. Sea theme in the middle of winterland.



 4. Here I'm showing you how I attached the twine. Used a hot glue gun, I had glue in between the layers too, so it would stay nicely together.
5. And at last I attached the big star by putting glue right in the middle of it and sticking it to the twine in the spot where string begins and ends. This way it looks neat.

Here you have it! Nice beachy bottle :))))


Please , leave a comment! I'll be really happy!!!
