This week's tip offers up an interesting way to make use of perfume bottle caps.
Are you looking to add a faux door knob to a mini album cover or a fabulous accent for a shadow box?
If you have perfume bottles don't discard the caps once done with your lovely fragrance.
Start a collection of perfume bottle caps or lids only.
You can attach them to your crafty projects with a strong, wet adhesive like E6000 and with a little ingenuity and careful placement that cap will be a beautiful accent piece.
You can also drill a hole through it with your Fiskars drill if you have one and string it through some fabulous ribbon.
Here are 2 caps I have removed from empty bottles that I plan on using as knobs for the cover page of mini-albums:
Check out the wood block I embellished to use as home decor where I incorporated a perfume bottle cap on the top.
Just another use for something you might have otherwise discarded.
Flea markets & antique shops may prove a great source of luck at finding some one of a kind perfume bottles.
Have fun trying this tip!
Remember though you must use a super strong adhesive. Also when storing what you embellish with the perfume bottle cap, be careful of its' placement.
P.S. sorry for the poor quality of the pictures- they were taken with my cell phone.
What a fab idea!! I hate throwing away my old perfume bottles because the tops are so pretty..I never thought of this. TFS!!!
