I came across this beautiful burlap lace dressed up bottle that TOTALLY inspired my

featured item here today.. Hope you enjoy.. I had fun playing dress up.. Join in...

This dress up was FUN and very easy..I Love the way the bottle turned out.. I think

it'll be great to bottle up wine or some sort of fun cocktail for a nice spring picnic..

*What YOU Need*

Fabric Of Choice (Strip)

Lace Strip

Glue

Rope (I used a natural twine/rope with metal rod in it)

....................................................

*Lets Play Dress Up*

To begin, I cut a strip of the cloth I wanted and measured it up to where I wanted to 

fit the bottle. I glued the fabric to the bottle carefully. Afterwards, I did the same with the 

lace. I cut it smaller than the fabric for an added vintage feel to the fabric (cut lace
about half the size of the actual fabric.). I glued that on as well accordingly.. 

After the fabric was in place, I decided to add a natural feel to the bottle by decorating

it with some natural tone rope/twine. I started at the top and worked my way around to
the bottom. I used a pair of pliers to tighten the end in a little hidden loop at the bottom
to keep the rope in place. (This was the hardest part of this creative piece! The twine is
a bit hard to keep in tact so hold on tight as you wrap around until you are at the bottom!)
Really ---lt;<<<<<<<<<< YES, THAT'S IT!!!!! 

I LOVE The New Look Of The Bottle..

I created another and hope to use them sometime soon to serve around 

the house.. What a fun way to decorate and jazz up a bottle! Will certainly 

add a fun touch to any dinning table..My family LOVED It!!!
