Have I told you yet how much I love me some Rum? FORGET ABOUT IT! Coconut Rum & 7 was MY drink back in college.... Thanks to my big sister in my Sorority... BUT I rediscovered Rum a few months ago after a long 10 year hiatus... I bought this bottle because I loved the Rum, how little did I know it would ROCK as a light... I made this one with one of those "Christmas Light up Houses" light... So it only has one lamp installed in the back... I love how it glows! I added some twine to cover up the glaring lamp and to cover all the extra wording... I love how it came out and I will be making many more !

And I have no clue as to why it's sideways... sad... but there it is....

Painted and Wrapped

Here is the finished product of my painted and wrapped test bottle. I TOTALLY LOVE it. I'm not diggin my scrappy photography... This is what I get for photographing a bottle, white on white, after finishing off a bottle... and I'm not talking about finishing off making a bottle ;)

I'm thinking blue twine! Time to paint more bottles...

Wrapped Sets Look Great

Here is a set of wrapped bottles. They look so cute together. I can totally see this in a Lake House. I had some issues with the learning curve of wrapping slopped sections, but I figured it out, and now I am looking all over for different sized bottles to wrap up! I have some color ideas for this too. I'm excited!

Wrapped

I was totally inspired by a photo I found on line of random things in the house wrapped in found items, like twine and rope etc... and here is my first creation... and believe you me, I have many different styles inspired off of this... I can't wait!
