After seeing so many wonderful altered bottles on other blogs I decided to give it a go The overall size of this piece is 8 ½” tall x 4 ¼’ wide. I started by stamping and embossing the glass (on all four sides). Click here to see a tutorial on how to stamp and emboss glass. Next, I added beaded and velvet trims. Lastly, I added jewels, pearls and the metal feet. The feet are made from a decorative piece of brass that I bent (see the picture below). You can find them as Alpha Stamps. The stopper is made from a picture frame.
I used Glossy Accents to attach all of the elements including the trims and feet. Normally I don’t use as wet glue to attach fabric but in this case the trims were thick (so the glue did not soak through) and I needed a glue that would stick to the glass.
I think this could be my new addiction. The possibilities are endless……

I was all set to say this is an-over-the-top favorite, when I scrolled down and saw your 4th ornament. Now what do I do? They are both uber-fab.
This is wonderful. I'm always looking for unusual bottles at garage sales and the goodwill. Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for, this is right up my ally. Thanks for sharing!
Another beautiful inspiration from you Laura, just gorgeous!
