Instead of tossing away those old glass bottles, save them to make these spectacular crafts. And with the holiday season quickly approaching, you’ll have a few great gift ideas to keep in mind!
An Instant Picture Frame
This vintage look is easy to pull off and looks great in any home.
Here’s How… First: Get It Clean
Remove the label using hot soapy water and a flat tool. After soaking for a few minutes, they should peel right off.
Next: Roll It On Up
Take your favorite seashell or marble collection in a color that will match your decor and pour it into the bottle. Then take your picture, roll it up and stick it in the bottle as well. The picture will unravel and you’ll have an eye-catching picture frame.
Just look at how gorgeous they are
You can use any picture (as long it will fit) and any color combination to make these cool frames really stick!
