Vintage Milk Bottle Vase

A few weeks ago I was out yard saling and found a couple of vintage glass milk bottles. Despite the Mr.'s "What the heck are you going to use those for Ash?" I bought them anyway. 
I do have to agree with him in questioning me on my purposes because I tend to buy ridiculously-useless-yardsale-items. It's a slight problem. 
Although this time, I'm thankful I went with my "semi crafty" gut feeling because these turned out to be perfect for a little add on for our yet to be revealed not yet done master bedroom.


This super easy and super cheap. It's amazing what you can make with "junk" !
I used my milk bottles, old string, lace pieces (also found at a yard sale) and a handy glue gun.


The steps are simples of course. Wrap the lace around the bottles gluing it into place. 




Do the same with the old string.


Simple right ?
The best about these is that you could personalise them any way you want.



This mini project cost me a total of 2.25$ for two of them.



A little shabby chic goodness to start of your Monday !


Thanks for stopping in !

Bye.Cya

  3. My daughter just bought some lace that she sewed on patches to her jean shorts. She has tons of left over lace that I can use to make these bottles. Love this idea for the bottles.
