BIRTHDAY BOTTLE BABY

I made this birthday bottle baby for my niece's birthday

(We celebrated her birthday tonight at my sister's house)

My inspiration came from the "Snow" People featured

in the "Cloth, Paper and Scissors" magazine a few

years ago at Christmas time. Love that

magazine!

I used a small perfume type bottle and glued

a plastic multi fauceted gem for the head

(purchased a bagful of these at Michael's)

I then glued on embellishments (the ribbons and hat)

The hat is simply the metal bottle cap of another bottle.

For the hair I used a very faint yellow yarn which I pulled apart

to soften it which in turn gave the look and feel of real hair.

I then glued on a flower to the hat, wrapped an old earring

around the neck with wire and then added the silver

pipe cleaners in a loop over the head.

I picked up the Happy Birthday

sign at a cake decorating shop

and attached that with a

silver pipe cleaner.

For the eyes, nose and mouth,

I used stick on rhinesones

in round shapes for the eyes

and a heart shape for the mouth

and a tiny round shape for the nose (which

is hardly seen in the photos).

The birthday bottle baby was a success

and we had a great time at the

party but now

it's time to say goodnight

to all and may your blessings

be ever so bountiful.
