Empty beer bottles = bathroom ornament!
Hey everyone, im new to jumbletown and after seeing the before and after section i was inspired to make somethin of my own! So here goes... I used two empty glass bottles, cleaned the labels off, left them to dry and then sprayed them white with some spray paint i had. I left them to dry for a day or so and then added some blue wool around the bottles to give them a sort of at sea look. I put some paper over the tops of them and tied some wool around them. And now they are bathroom ornaments!! :)
I dont think is as good as some of the things people have done on here but i had fun lol... and i'd like to hear what everyone else thinks! |

Well done - and of course you can change the colour of the wool to match the colour scheme of your bathroom at any time!!!

Great idea, why not fill them with bath salts or bubble bath, then they'd be more than ornaments. Or you could put scented water in them as a sort of room freshner.

Before I even scrolled down, I thought of something like this (must be the Lilly White at heart lol) Maybe you could put pot pourri in them and because the neck of the bottles are narrow, the smell will last longer. Well done Pink Sparkles |
