Message In A Bottle
Gotcha...well I guess that this is not a real "message in a bottle", but it could be! Last week at NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS, I showed you some bottles that I had found at a local thrift store and my plan for them was to add some seashells to the top of them...you can see them here!Sharlotte@Sharlotte's Southern Reflections showed us at NTT a few weeks ago her "coastal" bottles...I knew when I saw them, that I had to make me some...so I did. I was planning on doing the same process that she did, but being such a thrifty gal...I changed mine up just a little bit. I decided to use some corks that I had bought at Target for the stoppers...I cut out a hole in the top and filled it with hot glue...added a seashell...wrapped some jute around it and WHALA!

Hi Linda, I love your unique bottle toppers. I've been looking at bottles in Michaels, TJ Maxx and Marshall's but I'd rather do my own as well. I have a cute bird project that I'm going to do with a bottle. I'll be posting it in the next few weeks, hopefully. Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my Saturday night special. I love beachy things; your blog is just precious. I've been by before and I will be visiting again. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Very creative idea! I really like your seashell bottles. Adding the sand in the bottle gives it that extra special touch.

ReplyDelete(although your knife skills are a little scarey)
Hi Linda, thanks for the warm welcome back. Gosh, I missed everyone so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad you made these bottle toppers, now I need to run out and get some corks. I packed up a few bottles whose lids had been lost and now I know exactly what to do with them.
What a fantastic idea!!! Thanks!
