Yard sale bottle into a crafty creation

I bought 5 of these (different styles) at a yard sale for 50 cents a piece. I knew I wanted to add beads to them - or maybe alcohol inks and glitter.

Well - for my first one - I tied wire to the top of it - added a charm here and there, inked and placed a couple rub-ons right on the glass.

I glued various beads in place to the wire that winds around the bottle.

It was experimental - and have other ideas for the remaining 4. For now it stands empty - but I would like to fill it with colored sand or colored beads or mini marbles... hmmmm still thinking

Welcome to our pumpkin path

I made these exclusively with Stampin' Up punches and SU wire.

Pumpkin: 6 scallop circles folded, inked and glued together

Leaves - 5 petal flower rurned twice nd punch, inked and three segments cut and glued in the middle of the pumkin pieces.

Wire: 5 inches wrapped around a pencil and glued also in the center.

Tim off bottom so it is flat to allow for standing up.

Sign post

Word window punch for wooden post - inked and drawn on wood grain

Base: scallop circle inked and cut to form a cone

Sign post - punched and inked, hand written as it is small.

Hope you enjoy!

Valentine cards - wire, border punches, paper flowers

When I saw this wrapping paper (glitter red) at the grocery store - I thought it would make a great accent for a card. I also had bought a wire kit and never used it! So I tried my hand at making the filagree and the heart - so simple! The unit has pegs which you wrap the wire around to make the shapes. I used a small brad to hold it to the card. Love them - will have to do more with the wire. Hope you like.
