- A pair of plastic sauce squeezers/containers
- PVA Glue + craft paintbrush
- Magazine tear pages/paper images
- Grosgrain ribbon
- Scissors
Cut out some cute images from a magazine. I used one image for each bottle, but you can collage if you like. Cut the image to size. Using the glue, attach each image to the front of the bottle. Measure your ribbon around the top and bottom and cut 2 pieces to size. Then attach ribbon in the same way. Don't worry if it gets messy, PVA glue dries clear.
Then this is the weird part. Using your brush, paint the whole bottle generously with more PVA glue. You will think you have wrecked the whole thing! But trust, the glue will dry clear. Leave to dry for about an hour. You can do a second coat of glue if you want. But I didn't have time.
Cute and kitschy.
Just like my weekend.
Cheers.

ReplyDeleteVery cute Simone!
ReplyDeleteOk ok, I must have been hiding under a rock. I have never heard of "kitsch" before, but it looks like fun. I might have to give it a try after seeing how cute your bottles look! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea and so simple!!

ReplyDeleteThe way you see the pretty in the mundane is sensational, Simone. Well done. J x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic project Simone! I am always loking for ideas about how to make the ordinary extraordinary.... and this is just a perfect example! I often buy things that are plain so I can add a little something to make them special (and more personal) but I have never thought to revamp a sauce bottle! What a brilliant idea. I am a huge fan of kitch makeovers and I LOvE this one. X
ReplyDeleteVery cute!!! :) xxx

So cute, I love this idea! I am going to try this, I saw some ketchup & mustard bottles at the dollar store yesterday!
ReplyDeleteHow cutie!
ReplyDeleteI always love your cheap and cheerful projects! Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteCute, Cute, Cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! And simple enough for a NON-DIY-er like me to try. Once the glue dries, are you then able to wash the container when needed?
ReplyDeleteCute. I use those containters but mine are just the boring old colors. Thanks for some inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteLove these Simone. Such a creative idea. Pam x
