Upcycled Bottle - Decoupage

Upcycled Bottle Vase or Candle-Holder Decoupaged Provence Style



This unique vase / candle-holder was made from an empty bottle by painting it and using decoupage technique for decorating.

I used water borne varnish to protect the picture. Anyway, the scrubbing can damage the surface of the vase. Clean with damp cloth or cold running watter.

9.8" (25 cm) tall

Weekend Project - Painted Vases

Weekend Project: Bottle Painting = Vases

Ironically I came across the same project in two separate magazines this week, one from April's Canadian House & Home by Design Editor, Stephanie White and the other from the March issue of Australia's Real Living. The project is super easy and we can hardly wait to try it out. Perfect for a warm spring day out on the deck. The project instructions basically tells you to clean and dry the bottles (soak to remove labels) and then by pouring a dollop of paint into the bottle gradually rotate/swirl the paint inside until the paint coats the entire interior. Some may need two coats. Dry on a damp or plastic dropsheet. And voila!
