Another way to showcase your "old" timey photos


I started with a tall bottle, and filled it with shiny stuff


I then put the end of a white baby sock over a craft ball
and glued to the bottle to use as the head


Then added embellishments (stick on dots for eyes and mouth),
(cut out a small triangle shape from orange sponge for nose)
(fun yarn around neck and other areas) and...


glued on an old photo of my dad and his brother to the front
of the bottle and put stick on gems around it. I love the look
they give it. After I was all done I ...


Put a few coats of clear varnish over
the finished bottle boy.

Here's antoher one I did. You can call this one
Misses if you like


I added "La La La" with black stick on letters
(over the picture on the bottle)
and used a picture of my mom and her
two sisters from long ago.


Here are the two of them side by side
Don't you just love their expressions?

I got the idea from an issue of Cloth, Paper and Scissors
a few years ago (from featured Snow People).
Theirs were sooo cute...
I added the photo idea and used really tall bottles.
