Starfish In A Bottle

I recently picked up this old bottle at the flea market for $5.00

 

I pried off the top and it left some rust marks even after I ran it through the dishwasher.    So I wrapped the neck with some jute twine and hot glued a starfish in the “neck”.    

 

 

 

 

I love the way it turned out and only took about 10 minutes.    I stood at the kitchen counter and made it while watching Bravo….yeah, I’m addicted to that channel!    (I bet ya’ll watch some of those shows too!).

I have soooo many things I need to work on:   finish recovering the headboard in our bedroom, stain and stencil a wooden crate, finish pressure washing the adirondack chairs and paint them, clean off back patio, clean out my junk room so it can get painted and repurposed as a 2nd guest room, and that’s just the tip of the iceburg!    By doing a little project like the starfish bottle, I feel like I got SOMETHING accomplished!!!

I know I promised I’d be posting a great little recipe this week and I haven’t forgot….look for it by the weekend.
