DIY projects
from recycled materials are winning more and more followers all around the
globe. I decided to pay contribution to this trend, practice a little and make decorative kitchen accessories.
For my project I chose items as trivial as empty
bottles, rough threads and PVA glue.
My idea was to create decorative bottles with a
textured surface in rustic style. The basic method is to cover the bottle with
plenty of glue and wrap it with the threads line by line, close to each other
for a dense layer.
Yes, the work might be somewhat time consuming, but
very rewarding in the end. You will get a bottle that you can either leave as
it is or decorate further. You can add a graphic design or paint a simple image
on it. These decorative bottles can also serve as vases for field flowers. You
can serve your homemade wine or keep your favorite olive oil in them.
I made a couple of such bottles because I like how
they look in a set. The secret of a good composition from such bottles is to
use bottles of different shapes and heights. Usually, three of them will look
great together (remember, that uneven numbers are more favorable for
compositions than even).
You still don’t know how to decorate kitchen? Seriously?
To create various decorative glass bottles you can use threads like mine or the
leftovers of yarn for knitting. Think of adding lace accents or making patterns
with buttons or beads.
I hope that you like my bottles. I am sure that you
can develop this basis DIY project into even more sophisticated and colorful projects
of yours.
