Tutorial On Bottle Treasure


As an artist (kuno! teehee ), creating art while recycling materials has always intrigue me. Like for example ...recycling a bottle! A bottle is a relatively easy material to come by, and it is cheap. Some people look at a bottle and see only what is inside (like soy sauce or ketchup or patis etc...) and use the contents and simply throw the bottle away. But fortunately for us, not all people see the empty bottle as an object to be discarded. For some people, an empty bottle presents itself as an exciting material to re-use for a different purpose. ..there are those who create art with bottles.












To make this project, simply follow these easy and quick steps:
( For this project, I used a cali shandy bottle.)
1. I covered the entire bottle with newspaper strips using glue.
2.I added scrapbook papers /corrugated board around the body.
3.Punched holes for the eyelets. Did a criss-cross lacing pattern and tied a bow at the end.
4.Attached flowers, buttons and colored feathers.
4.Added tags....Done!
