An altered bottle...a tutorial. And a giveaway winner!

I recently fell hard for watercolours. And with that came the inevitable collection of paint brushes just for my watercolours. Of course that meant that they needed a "home".

I started with this juice bottle. I love that it's slim and compact and perfect for my brushes. :) I applied Liquitex matte medium to adhere the lace to the bottle. Then I used one half of a zipper to "cover up" the joint and decorate the circumference of the bottle.

I also added some pearls along the edges to make it a little prettier.:)

I ran a needle and thread through the other half of the zipper to create a gathered effect.

Then I used a hot glue gun to create a spiral bloom.

The zipper bloom was then adhered to the bottle.

I finished by adding a fun charm to the bloom. :)
