 Altered bottles can be found in many places. I love the effect I found through Pinterest. Start with a bottle that has intricate embossing. This makes for the best antiquing treatment. First clean the glass.  Spray with Rustoleum Dark Bronze paint.  Make sure the Rustoleum paint is totally dry before continuing. Paint over the Rustoleum with an indoor/ outdoor paint like Patio Paint. I used a Verdigris color. Again, make sure the paint is totally dry before continuing.  Using a fine sandpaper, take off a little of the green paint to show the dark bronze below. When you feel there is bronze showing through, take a slightly heavier sandpaper to take off paint down to the glass. This gives your glass a lovely aged look.  Here is a Crown bottle done with the above treatment with embellishments added.
Welcome to my blog!
I would like to share with you my finished projects that are repurposed from different previously loved items. I also share ideas and projects from other crafters on Pinterest.com. Some of my items are for sale and you can purchase them on the website using PayPal. The items that are not listed with a price are examples of what I can creat on a Custom Order basis. All custom orders can be started by emailing me at pamela0475@gmail.com Custom orders can be done totally with jewelry, beads, chains, rhinestones and other previously loved items I already have or I can put together your order using your jewelry as a base and then add to it to get the look you are looking for! I welcome comments and suggestions. Tutorials will be made available as I perfect each craft. Links to other tutorials will also be available. |
