This
bottle was a real find at the craft store last year. I bought three in all, with each having a
different butterfly stopper. They are clear bottles with the beautiful cloisonné butterfly stoppers. To alter the bottle I started by applying the
metallic gold leaf stickers. I filled
the gaps in the leaves with micaflakes.
At
the base of the bottle I added lace and draped around the bottle is beaded
trim.
Lastly,
I added a cameo with a Greek statue image that I domed by using Glossy
Accents. I removed the rubber part of
the stopper to expose the shaft. To the
indented area at the base of the shaft I added a string of beads. You can see the beads dangling inside the
bottle.
Thanks
for all of your lovely comments about the first bottle. There are many more to come and with some of
the posts I’ll have more formal tutorials.

Hi Laura, Love this bottle and anything that has butterflies. I too would have to make the topper but have lots of butterflies I could use. Thanks so much for sharing. I love your altered bottles.
Take care,

Hi Laura!
wonderful bottle! I love the butterfly on it!
Hugs and kisses
I love your bottles (and everything else you do) The jewels on the bottom of the stopper are awesome and totally unexpected! Great job Laura.
