Altered Antique Ink Bottles

 

Howdy do!  As I shared in my last posts, I was working playing with some old Victorian ads and ink bottles a few weeks back.  It was a really fun project and quite easy, too.  I had bits of old lace, an old paper tape measure, some brown and creamy white hem tape, a few scrabble tiles and old buttons to use along with the old ads.

From the beginning…

..to the end results.

Just add some fresh flowers to the bottles to make them into small flower vases or use them to hold pencils, Q-tips, toothbrushes – or leave as is for a sweet display.

 

My favorite one is this bottle that says “write” and has a typewriter image on the side that is not visible.  I thought it to be appropriate for an ink bottle.

My second favorite is this one with the old National Typewriter ad.  Oh, there is the typewriter on the back side of the “write” one.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Till next time…..
