I created this soldered bottle a while ago but I had reached a point where I could no longer continue.I couldn’t figure out what was missing from it,so ultimately, I put it aside and moved on to a different project.<\/p>\n

\"DSC06409\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some time later as I was playing with my Paper Whimsy goodies,the idea of creating a hanging banner out of the smaller elements came to mind. My original plan,was to use the mini banner on a canvas or assemblage(which I still think is a great idea)…but as I created them,the bottles came to mind and I knew that they were exactly what the piece was missing.<\/p>\n

I first covered the hearts in gesso.<\/p>\n

Next I painted the hearts,then using a dry brush I added some Gesso.<\/p>\n

\"DSC06397\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Glue the hearts to 18 gauge black steel wire. Add some curley cues to the wire.<\/p>\n

\"DSC06399\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Add rub-ons and glitter.<\/p>\n

And for added texture,I wrapped 26 gauge wire with seed beads around the larger wire. Lastly,I \u00a0wraped the ends of the wire around the bottle and looped the ends.<\/p>\n

\"DSC06404\"<\/a><\/p>\n

….and there you go….exactly what the doctor ordered for this soldered bottle!<\/p>\n

Naturally…I had to make another one!<\/p>\n

\"DSC06415a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m thinking you can make this with any of the small Alterables….and even with the larger ones.I would just use a stronger adhesive on the larger ones.<\/p>\n

Happy Creating!<\/p>\n
