\nWell
\n I am back again.. this time I have a treat for those who always wants
\nto try something different.. Well to give you some background around
\nwhat do I mean by change is.. For those who know me and read my blog
\nregularly know that I have tried my hands on quiet a few stuff namely –
\ndigital software to make cards , paper crafting, mixed media, altered
\nart… and now the latest gimmick is DIY.. Well I am a person who get
\nbored if asked to do the same work again and again for years and need a
\nconstant change… Now I know that in professional and personal lives
\nthat’s not possible (I just cant swap my family members or my bosses so
\neasily .. Not that I would \ud83d\ude00 ).. Hence I try to swap between hobbies,
\nso that everyone is happy ;).. Hence from past 1 month I have been
\ncreating a lot of DIY projects which I plan to share with you guys and
\nhopefully inspire you like how I was inspired to try something different
\n and out of my comfort zone.. Before I even show the pics I want to
\napologise for the quality of pics as they were taken from my phone.. And
\n the bottle is already gifted and I forgot to take the pics before
\ngifting the (Silly me \ud83d\ude41 ).. So here is the final product –<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Bottle1-4\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>

\n<\/p>\n

\nNow on the supplies and how I did it along with some links to the ones who inspired me –<\/div>\n
\n\"\"So
\n first I got some empty bottles .. Since it was first time I was doing
\nanything with glass I had no glass color or anything handy with me (I am
\n a very impatient person and I could not wait to get started on the
\nproject.. I literally started this one after coming home from office at
\nlike 10 PM \ud83d\ude09 ).. <\/div>\n
\nHence I got a colored bottle itself and just decided
\nto glitter it..<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSupplies needed –<\/div>\n
\nEmpty bottle<\/div>\n
\nGlitter<\/a><\/div>\n
\nFevicol<\/div>\n
\nTape<\/div>\n
\nSealer ( In my case I have used Compac Clear Spray)<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n\"Bottle1-1\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n\"Bottle1-2\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\nI
\n covered my bottle with the tape wherever I did not want the glitter to
\nbe stuck.. And then added fevicol to remaining areas.. Here is the pic
\nof me dumping glitter … YAY<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"Bottle1-3\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\nOnce
\n you have added glitter and removed the excess let the fevicol dry.. 
\nYou may feel that this project would require a lot of glitter but that
\nwasn’t the case.. When I was completed with the bottle and I dumped the
\nexcess back in I realized hardly any glitter was used and one bottle
\nwould go long way..<\/div>\n
\nSo
\n once your bottle is dry, here comes the part to seal the bottle so that
\n glitter doesn’t stick to your hands.. I have used the Aerosol spray to
\nseal, you can use Modpodge for it as well but I have read that after
\nusing mod podge u lose some of the shine and I did not want it… Now
\nyou should’nt to inhale the fumes these sprays emit so please take your
\nproject out in open space – a garden or a gallery like in my case and
\nthen spray on the bottle evenly.. Please cover your face with mask while
\n doing it so you don’t inhale the fumes..<\/div>\n
\nOnce
\n the spray is dry touch the bottle and if needed spray it with another
\nround to seal the areas if any left.. And your project is done..<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHonestly
\n I was never a big fan of glitters because they create a big mess.. but
\nafter this project I seems to have gotten a knack of it and have created
\n many more projects using glitter which I would be sharing soon.. So
\nhope you guys had fun and enjoyed the post..<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere are the links where I got the idea from –<\/div>\n
\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NIk2JnJ-H18<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis
\n bottles would be perfect for a decorative item in your racks or can be
\nused as vases or you can even add a tealight and see the glitter work it
\n wonders \ud83d\ude42 It would also be an awesome housewarming gift.. So go ahead and create you own set \ud83d\ude42 .. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n Ohh yes.. I have made a set of these for my own home.. Will share the pics soon \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\nP.S
\n – Do you guys get bored after doing the same kind of crafting again and
\n again. I agree each product has its own individuality and its different
\n from the last one you make etc.. But do you guys get BORED :D.. and if
\nYES what other crafts do you try .. let me know as I would love to give
\nit a try too \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHappy Crafting<\/div>\n
