Flea Market Shabby Romantic Bottle

Hello there,

welcome to INSPIRE.

As promised earlier this week, 

I am here to share a second project

created with items from

The Vintage Rose Emporium.

How is this for an "upcycle" project?

A "Flea Market Shabby Bottle".

The floral print design, is actually a napkin

from VRE.

As it turns out, I used the entire napkin 

on this project.

I prepped the bottle by removing the labels

with warm soapy water.

Once thoroughly dried, I applied 2 coats of gesso, and 1 coat of milk paint, in shabby pink.

To apply napkin to the bottle, I first removed the second blank layer of the napkin

to enhance a near see through effect

for the chalk paint to show through the design.

I then applied the napkin with a matte medium.

I also dry brushed gesso very lightly over the napkin, to complete the shabby look.

I had an antique glass door know in my personal stash, that was perfect for the top of the bottle.

I used a variety of VRE items to finish the look, including a rhinestone buckle, satin trimmed sheer ribbon wrapped around the neck of the bottle, and through the buckle, flat back pearl trim, and heart appliqués.

I have got to say, I think I am in love with 

this project, and how shabby it turned out.

I hope you find yourself inspired to create something beautiful too.
