Hello all! Hope your weekend has started off on the right foot! I enjoyed a beautiful day out running errands then a fun dinner out with my sister! :) I'm ready for a nap! But, alas, I find myself in my crafting corner! lol I needed to upload these pics. So, part two of my Mother's Day gift....An Altered Glass Bottle (This is a "Got Flowers?" Bottle but any bottle would work). I wrapped paper around the center (strategically placed over the stubborn labels that would not come off! Ok, I didn't try that hard since I knew I'd be covering them anyway! :)~ I wrapped a ribbon of paper around the bottle and adhered it with Glue Dots (my new fave adhesive!). I don't know why I didn't use these before but they are as awesome as the glue gun without having to get all stringy! Then I used the Cricut to cut (Easter 2010 cart) the Doily Circle in the same paper as I used to wrap around the bottle. I then cut a pink circle using my CM Circle Patterns and wrote "Mother's Day Kisses" using the CM Round Tip Marker. I did the faux stitching with the CM Fine Tip Black Marker. I popped the pink circle up with pop dots and placed it on my doily circle. After that was finished, I added my doily circle (again strategically!) to my bottle using glue dots.
I adhered pale pink satin ribbon to the outside of the silver screw on cap, added several blooms to the top and used a small sheer pink ribbon to add a little something to the center of the ribbon. I created my own beaded charm using translucent and pearly pink beads and attached that to a satin pink bow that I adhered (using glue dots!) to the bottom of the doily circle. It was missing something so I topped the bow off with a K & Company translucent butterfly sticker! (See pictures below)
Last but certainly not least, I added Hershey's Kisses to the inside of the bottle! YUM!
I think my Mom will like this gift...for the CHOCOLATE!!! :) I had fun making it and I think I might make one for my sister too! Aren't I nice? lol Somebody's got to eat the rest of the kisses!!
