How to Make a Bottle Collection Shadow Box
Hi this is Jenny with simple beautiful crafts on behalf of expertvillage.com. We have been talking about different kinds of shadow boxes from traditional shadow boxes to shadow boxes made from unusual things. I like bottles and vases and I have a little collection of them and I though that it will be fun to display them and this cutlery drawer divider would was a perfect shadow box to display my bottles. So something like this is good to play with it for a while and see how you like it put in and move things around. Just hum that is not going to work there I don't really want green next to green so I'm going to move that over and I don't know put the blue one here and the green one there. Lets see I guess that would have to go here and this one here. Now have green above blue. Maybe I move that around a little bit. Okay I think I kind of like that but I don't like this empty space up here so I took my little big blue bottle and found my favorite color purple just a little bit of natural well green but it is purple in there and I'm ready to glue down my bottles in my shadow box to display my glass bottles. Now if you are like me and you like to change things around you could use Elmers glue to just secure in and then you would be able to take it out and then remove it. But if you want to keep it on a permanent bases you want either want to use some kind of crazy glue, super glue or you can get glue that specifically design to hold glass to things. So you have to decide how you are going to secure your bottles in your shadow box and of course this sticks out a little bit so you can't put glass over it. But this how I'm making a shadow box to display my bottle collection.
