Altered tomato catch up bottle

Hello everyone
For those of you who love altering bottles like I do, I have some fun and easy techniques to share with you. I’ve created 3 altered bottles using a same technique on each bottle. These are i made for my uncle's housewarming party gift. I’ll (short)explain techniques I used.


Soak the bottles in water, and remove the labels
Once the bottles are clean and dry, instead of painting Gesso, i used masking tape to cover the bottle
Apply white glue on whole bottle and spread the glass beads
Use the gold & silver metallic spray paint on the bottle 
Decorate with solo wood flowers(use difft metallic colors), dry leaves, & lace 




This was great fun and I am so pleased to discover that the gem cluster glass beads can be altered so easily. I hope you like my altered bottle.



Thank you for joining today!

    What a clever idea. I have seen masking tape used before to create a wood/bark look but this looks amazing. So many thanks for sharing this with us at Unstampabelles.

    That is an amazing transformation! I'm always in awe of people like you who can see the possibilities in common objects (like ketchup bottles). Thanks so much for joining us at Let's Craft & Create.
