Hello and welcome to our blog dear friends!
FROM TRASH TO TREASURE
This month, our mood board has inspired our designers so much and today, our lovely and very talented Julia Deligiannidou is showing us a very special project!
Julia
Happy Creative Year my dear friends!
I was very much inspired by our mood board this month, so decided to upcycle an old liquor bottle and turn it into a glamorous table décor piece.
First, I thoroughly cleaned the bottle and removed all the labels. With a stencil and some stone effect paste (lime stone) I created the stars on the upper part of the surface.
Then, I applied icing paste (frosty pearl) over the whole bottle. I used air-dry clay to shape the little houses and left everything to dry well.
When everything was completely dry, I applied gesso and crackle paste. I embellished the roofs and the windows with glass glitter and some metal elements.
I decorated the bottle’s neck with sari ribbon that I had sprayed with blue mister. I used the same mister to color the stars.
I used a piece of cardboard to create the moon and painted it with metallic acrylic paint. I also used blue acrylic paint for the sky. Lastly, I glued some sticker numbers on the houses.
Dear Julia, thank you so much for this gorgeous project.
Great idea for home décor but also as a gift to a friend!
I’m absolutely certain, my dear friends that you’ve all got plenty of empty bottles hidden in many places at your houses, well…just grab one of them and give it new life!
Do not forget to enter your creation to our challenge. You may be Scraps N Pieces next Guest Designer!
