Petite Bouquet


Supplies:
Mini glass bottles
Ranger Alchohol inks-yellow, pink and orange
Paper string garlands- pink and orange
Adhesive rhinestones
Gemdrops
Quick drip glue
Water marbles and sand
Mini flower bouquets

Directions:

Yellow Vase: Pour droplets of yellow alcohol ink (of the color of your choosing) into the bottle and swirl around coating evenly. Tip over so the bottle rests on the Neck/opening and allow any remaining droplets to drip out. Once dry, add rhinestones.

Pink Vase: Pour droplets of Pink alcohol ink (of the color of your choosing) into the bottle and swirl around coating evenly. Tip over so the bottle rests on the Neck/opening and allow any remaining droplets to drip out. Once dry, wrap with pink beaded ribbon and glue gemdrops to the bottle.

Orange Vase: For this project, take a piece of painters tape and tape and place horizontally around the bottle approximately 1" up from the bottom. If you would like you can add another wrap of tape approximately 1"up. Take a paint brush dipped in yellow alcohol ink and paint the bottom of the jar below the tape carefully making sure not to saturate too much. Next take the pink alcohol ink and pain the open area between the two pieces of tape. the next step is to paint the neck of the bottle about the tape using orange. Allow to dry thoroughly before removing the tape. Add orange beaded ribbon to the bottle wrapping around several times.

***After decorating your bottles, insert the water marbles or sand and add your mini flower bouquets. ENJOY!
