I started out with some bottles that I recycled from the deli department at work.
These sweet and sour sauce bottles went from looking like this
To looking like this.
The pink and red bottles I brushed on mod podge and then applied tissue paper. I wasn't careful about getting out wrinkles. I wanted the added texture. The white one I tried painting the bottle first but had paint chipping off rather easy. Then I did the mod podge and white tissue paper it will keep any more paint from scraping off but still give it a bit of a chippy look. I finished them off by adding the jute twine around the top. I may or may not add ribbon to them. The glitter hearts were ones that I bought at the dollar store.

they are so cute and besides that you recycled the bottles into something pretty and useful...
Pretty...
You are so talented! I would love these if I had a place to set one.
Oh those are cute. Recycle, reuse, repurpose.
Oh yeah - great idea - they look terrific!! These would make nice centrepieces for any occasion - just change what's put in them. You're too clever. :)
I love them! Especially the texture.
Those are just perfect. I really like the idea. You have a super day.
Anni, thanks
Pam, thanks, I like being able to use items that would otherwise end up in the trash.
Ginny. Thaks. I didn't originally intend for them to be like that but since I was having a hard time getting the tissue paper to lie flat I just went with it and ended up liking the texture.
Marg, thanks. I liked how they turned out
They're cute and useful. Great idea!
That came out really cute!
totally awesome, and created from what essentially would be waste...great holders for your hearts
CheerfulMonk thanks. I had fun making them too
Renee, thanks
Catherine, it's always a thrill when I can use things that would have otherwise ended up in the trash. The best part of this whole project was that I already had everything. The only thing I bought were they hearts and they were only $1
