HIMCR-Technique Week!

Hey All!!

Today is Technique Week over at Hiding In My Craft Room!

For this weeks technique, we are doing Distressing or Antiquing!

There are MULTIPLE ways that you can distress or antique an item. You can sand, ink, rip, cut, crinkle, etc to give an item a distressed or aged look! You can do it to ANY item!!

I am used to distressing my cards or scrapbook layouts. For today's project, I wanted to think OUTSIDE the box and try to distress/age something different! So...here is what I wanted to distress:

 

These are 4 regular glass bottle that I found at AC Moore for $1.49 each!!! Now, its almost Halloween and I have been checking out prices on the decorations. WHAT??? Are they NUTS??? To but a "spooky" bottle decoration was going to cost me about $12! I KNEW I could make my own, so hence... Here is what I aged:

 

 

Here is an up close view of the first bottle. (After I took this picture, I knew it needed something...then came twine)

 

Here is what all 4 bottle look like after I distressed them a bit!

 

Supplies:
