White lace bottles | DIY

Thank you friends, for your sweet comments and concern for my family lately!  I'm ready to move forward, even though the effects of things will linger for a while.  But moving on!  (Literally... we're moving next month..and we're not going to the same place we thought- somewhere better.  That's the good news.  But more on that later.)  So, back in the spring last year, I turned root beer bottles into cute flower vases that I shared here- this girl was the mastermind.  I've gotten compliments on them since but always had a little beef about seeing "Root Beer" all big through the paint.  So recently i decided why not take lace and wrap it around (like I have before) to cover it.  Here's what I did...

Cut lace to fit around, so the sides touch, but not overlap.

Apply a thin layer of Elmer's glue (or Mod Podge) on bottle and stick lace on it.

Then, with your same sponge brush, sponge glue over the top of your lace until it's securely glued in place and sticks to your bottle all over.

Disclaimer:  It didn't mask the words to perfection- but just enough to not make it the first thing you notice.  I really like it- and it was simple- took me like 10 minutes.  Cheap too.  (Free for me, since I had everything)  My advice would be don't sponge down too hard over the letters "root beer" or you will see them still a little bit.  Also, take time and really measure before you cut.  I was lazy and didn't so there are... imperfections (;
