Decorating Vintage Bottles

You'd be surprised how fast this one was to make. Less than half an hour including digging through boxes of bits&pieces to make it. I printed the little baby tulip fairies from an old postcard onto tracing paper, then cut out the parts I like and painted the back with a small amount of glue and stuck it on the front. I took part of a Valentine wire garland, and a part of a white glitter garland to make a garland to put inside the bottle. Then I cut off pieces of a Christmas iced garland to drop inside. I rubbed on a little glitter glue in matching colors on the paper. And to top it off, I cut a small square of plain tracing paper and wrapped it around the top of the bottle with some red wire from the Valentine garland. As I made this one, I had better ideas for some other ones, all I need to do is remember where I put the boxes of old bottles :D The good thing is, if I find out that this bottle might be worth any money, all I have to do is soak off the paper label and dump out the contents! lol
