When life gives you lemonade, make a really cool vase.

Have you seen the pretty shaped bottles of lemonade they sell at a lot of grocery stores these days? My daughter had them at the baby shower she hosted last month, so I snagged a couple of them, and I was glad I did.

They have such a pretty shape,and there was an indention for the label, which made it so easy to trace by pressing a piece of vintage sheet music over the area, and tracing it. I then cut it out and glued it in place with a simple glue stick.

I added a vintage skeleton key and some ribbon around the top of the bottle neck and it was done. Perfect for serving water at a meal, or using as a fabulously charming bud vase, don'tcha think?

And...best of all, it was a totally free craft project.

Yes I agree. The bottle is fabulous and can serve two purpose, as a decorative piece or a useful pitcher. Thanks for sharing this. Your work is a proof there is art from junk. :)

I love the vase/water server. Very creative. It always is so gratifying to make something that would have otherwise been discarded.

Very cool! Love your bottles! Trader Joe's has very cool pink ones that I love too. I think about you! PDX is great, isn't it?? Do you ever miss Reno? Do you miss your cottage there? What about your little store there? Is your friend running it alone? Are you glad you came to PDX after all you've seen and done and moved a few times? Hope all is well with you! We're moving to a teeny tiny house soon, and I couldn't be happier. (Boy, do I have a -ton- to get rid of)! We met at Barn House about 2 years ago.

Hugs,
Sheila

There are so many pretty bottles out there that can be re-purposed, or left as is as vases, etc.. Oh my.....Just wished I had more space.
