Shabby altered bottle

I made one of these last year and have been collecting the same bottles again to make some more. 
My one has some artificial flowers in it and is sitting on a small table in my living room.


Painted with Fresco Finish at the bottom and lace added over the top.


Ribbon and pearls.


Vintage dressmaking pattern glued to the top part and more ribbon and trimmings with pearls.


Lots of flowers and gems to decorate.


Have a great week and thanks for visiting me.

Gorgeous bottle so pretty and delicate - just like me (not).
Seriously - I love it. I have a couple of little bottles bought when I went to the ArtsyCrafty weekend last year and wondered what to do with them - thanks for the inspiration.
