Victorian Bottles

Create props for your upcoming Halloween party.

This project is simple, fast and inexpensive. The estimated cost is $2 to $5 depending on the decorations used.

Colored bottles
Raffia
Glue gun/glue
Fabric paint
Buttons
Old jewelry
Lace
Fake jewels
Fabric (with patterns)

If you are coordinating a decorating theme, you can cut out material that matches your color scheme and randomly glue the pieces on your bottle. Use fabric paint to color the trim of the fabric (to keep fabric from fraying) or glue lace around the fabric.

Tie a piece of raffia into a bow around the neck of the bottle. Add buttons, jewelry, (I break the ear piece off pierced earrings and glue the pieces onto the bottle.) or any charms onto the bottle in random or decorative order.

The bottle looks nice alone without all the decorations, but it won’t be Victorian without them!
