Altered bottle with Stamperia Rise Papers

Hi, Henriëtte here today sharing this altered bottle.

First I coated an empty whiskey bottle with two layers of white gesso.

To decorate the bottle I used Stamperia rice paper "Tag with Rose".

With a brush and some water I traced around the oval frame and teared it of.

With decoupage glue I glued the oval on the front of the bottle.

I did the same with the ornaments and glued these on the back.

Then I coated the entire bottle with the decoupage glue.

To make the bottle look more vintage I applied brown distress ink on the entire surface.

I glued sisal around the bottleneck and embellished the bottle with two foamiran 

roses and hyacinth flowers.

I have a tutorial on my you tube channel on how to make the foamiran roses. 

You can find it here.

The Stamperia rice papers are available at the Crafteezee shop in many beautiful designs and 

they are really of excellent quality. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Crafteezee blog today. 

I appreciate your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Altered paper bag

Hello, first of all I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year. 

I hope 2019 brings you joy, happiness and good health.

Today I'm sharing this altered paper bag.

I  removed the handles and then folded the bottom of the bag to the front and placed 

double-sided tape on the edges to create a pocket.
 I coated all the edges of the bag with white gesso.

There's a small altered paper bag inside the bag and in the front pocket are 5 tags.

I distressed all the edges using distress ink. 

To decorate the paper bags and tags I used the absolute gorgeous papers and flowers from 

Prima Marketing "Georgia Blues".

Besides the papers and flowers I also added tulle, pearltrims, a beautiful vintage filigree floral button, cheesecloth, fabric flowers and lace trims.

It's was a fun project to make and it shows how a simple paper bag and be transformed 

into something pretty.

Thanks for stopping by the Crafteezee blog!

Hugs, Henriëtte.
