This project that a bit of an oddity; but I know I'm not the only one whose mind runs this way, so I won't feel too silly telling you this. I love fruity waters and it's mainly what I drink. Earlier today I was sitting down today just staring at a bottle of one of my favorites:
Why? Because I go through cases of this stuff a month!!! And I was thinking and figured for as much as it costs me, I should be able to get something else out of it other than just a drink!!! LOL! I literally drink about 7-10 of these a day, if not more!!! So, I'm looking at it trying to figure out what the heck I can do with it. Suddenly something about the bottle cap struck my attention and bells go off!!! I ran to my craftroom and grabbed a leftover piece of transparency off my work table; opened another bottle of water for the cap (and, of course, to drink) and came up with this:
It's a little container that reminds me of one of those test-tube type bottles you buy for candy; doesn't it? I simply just added double-sided tape to one end of the bottle cap and rolled the transparency around it into a tube; used double-sided tape to seal up the back of the tube and used the other cap as a top!
Well, naturally, I had to dress it up and decided to add Christmas potpourri to mine instead of candy (didn't have any anyway, lol!):
Again, like with my window card, it was hard trying to snap a good picture because of the transparency, but I think you get it. Anyway, it just didn't seem complete, so I added a matching gift card:
And to think, bottle caps and transparency!!! You can't see it but I decoupaged a Santa that matches the card to the top of the lid bottle cap. I think it came out okay! How about you?
While I was visiting my friend Dawn, she mentioned an "anything goes" challenge, so I'll be entering this project over at Top Tip Tuesday's challenge.
Oh well, I'm off again! Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be seeing you!
