Hello crafty friends!! I am back today to share with you this awesome project that was inspired by a fellow crafter who does magnificent work! If you love vintage, shabby chic, vintage shabby chic, then this is most definitely the project for you. But of course it really does not matter what your style is because as crafters anything can be created just as your mind visualizes it! I had been wanting to do a bit of changes to my craft area like storage areas and maybe a bit of altering to the current items that are on my desk . So while searching up a variety of DIY projects, I came across this on YouTube. The crafter had altered her bottle of glue and @ the end of her video she shared more that she had already done!! I was fascinated! So this is where I got the inspiration from!
This project does not take a whole lot of time. I believe that this is the very 1st time that I created something so quick. So lets get right to it!
I began by taking a piece of muslin fabric and measuring and cutting it the height of the bottle with the exception of the tip. I then had to add my closure, unfortunately I had no velcro that would be a strip, I only had the circular ones which worked. Even though they have adhesive on them, I wanted to give it an added sturdiness as I know that once I'm done with this bottle, I'll be putting my wrap on a new bottle . I decided the bottle I would be using this one on would be my Helmar Fabric Glue.
So with all that said ended up using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue for the added reinforcement. I then picked out a piece of fabric that I had been hoarding for a small project and this was the perfect one. I used Helmar Fabric Glue to glue it to the piece of muslin. I wasn't gonna be able to embellish it very much as it needed to feel comfortable enough to when I held it and squeezed it then nothing would be in the way. So I just added a flat fabric flower and and half back pearl on the center of it.
I lastly added some stringed ivory flat back pearls along the bottom. I wasn't sure if I wanted to add anything on the tip of the bottle and thought it didn't look the greatest so just added a little lace and some of the same stringed pearls and Voila!!!
So yes maybe I did go overboard a little bit but I can't help how much I LOVE HELMAR PRODUCTS!! The link below is for the tutorial that I was inspired by, her name is Jenifer Stephens and on YouTube she is A Trace Of Sparkle
Thank you for checking out my post today and I hope u will give this a try! Imagine how adorable our adhesives would look if everyone did this for their favorite Helmar Glue!!!! ~Hugs Always~ Jeanne
