Halloween Blog Hop ~ Day 3

 welcome back to colorful's 4 day halloween blog hop
and for the exciting news - yesterday's winner is... {drum rooooOOll}
Doreen with scrapbookertink!
congrats!
just email your info to colorfulscrapbooker(at)gmail(dot)com!

today's project is our dining room centerpiece
check it out! 
 
(that took me all year to make ~ well it took a year to collect that many bottles!) 


how i made it
  • every wine/ alcohol bottle we used (some are from family/friends) 
  • once empty i would clean out and store in my craft room closet
  • in september i found these matte solid orange and white glitter candles at home goods
  • ripped some muslin fabric (about the size of a normal table runner) 
  • and burnt down the candle {every once in a while i shake the table or bottle to make the wax fall down the side... makes it look so much more creepy!
it still needed the final touch
  • the cheesecloth was $1. at the dollar store 
  • and black roses [someone] had gotten eric for his 30ith b-day. just popped them off their steam heads and tossed them around the table
and vuala a sophisticated haunted house styled centerpiece.  

now for something not so haunted!

  4. oh eila - can't fib you with can i! the truth is it did take all year to collect these however i did only keep the "PRETTY" bottles cause seriously who drinks 4 bottles of tequila (2 of which are patron) in one summer!! eric (my hubby) said this is a centerpiece for families with drinking problems cause every time he looked at the table - he would pull out a soda instead.. hehehe how funny!
