I enjoyed making these but let me warn you they take a lot of time. Clean your glass and decide on your design then begin laying the sequins. Once dry add a coat of clear spray or modge podge!
this bottle was a bit more difficult. I Painted the bottle white then in pencil drew my Santa on the bottle. I ten painted the red on the bottle. The hair and beard is unraveled cotton balls and modge podge. as is the nose and then painted. I used a piece of black ribbon and foil for the belt and buckle. I used white glitter over the fur of his coat. The hair and beard has hardened and it appears ceramic... After I painted his hands and face on I modge podged the entire bottle to encase it all and make it shiny and pretty! Hope you make one of your own!.
my green green & not much green chandelier has it's name beacause it is green in color, green in that it is made from pop 2 lt's and water bottles, and not much green because I had to spend $8.50 on brass wire when I ran out...but i only used about half so more like $4.25 and that is not much! Everything other than the wire I bought I had in the art studio.
When I started I switched the bulbs to smaller bulbs and my honer put in a dimmer switch for me. I cut out roundish to oval shaper close in shape peices from 7 up, siera mist, and sprite pop bottles for the green peices. I used water bottles for the clear peises. I made strands by stringing them together with wire and beads in between them. I had a found large plastic round hoop the perfect size as a base. I wound white ribbon around it to hide the brown and the wires holding them up. My honey hung it up with two hanger wires...... we love it!
I love scarfs with my suits....Yes I do. I had no way for me to see them easily and they certainly were not beautiful to look at....I used what I had at hand to make this. It is paper mache with strips of screen in it for added strength (this was befor I knew how to make plastic). There is a peice of wood in the bottom with ribbon running around the bottom to hold the scarfs like a skirt. I decorated it and saved Grandma Milly's mink stole for the back of it ( not attached). to hang I put a peice of wood from side to side horizontally by the under arms and attached the wall hanger. This took many hours and planning to do but was well worth it!
