Last weekend, I stopped by SCRAP (Scrounger's Center for Recycled Art Parts), a non-profit organization in San Francisco and GREAT! spot for finding bits and pieces of old wood, glass, fabric, etc. What you see here is the result of that visit: A measure of salvaged window (door?) trim, with three little glass bottles fastened to it by hot-glue gun. I drilled a couple of holes in the trim - prior to affixing the bottles - ran some ribbon through, and tied it off. Just add water and voila! - hanging bud vases.
I plan on making more of these (still have alot of leftover trim), but next time, I'm going to add some beadwork to the bottles before I affix them. My challenge will be to get the jeweler's wire - on which I'll string the beads - to lay nicely on the bottles. Any suggestions would be most welcome...
