I received an email from Anthropologie with this awesome tutorial on how to make the flowers many of their store windows are using as decorations right now. (The pictures will not show up all together on some computers, but should be fine on most).
How amazing are they???? I so want to make some! I think it would look great on a fence outside, on my bedroom wall, oh the possibilities are endless! They have a flickr group too if you want to check out some of the store windows made with these. Now, I need to start enlisting people to save their plastic bottles for me because we don’t really buy too many.
Also, SYTYC has started again and is in their second week! Go cast your vote today! There are some super crafty ladies with some awesome things to vote for.
Oh, I want to make a few!
ooohh – awesome use of water bottles – thanks! 🙂

Hola: Linda manera de reciclar y decorar.
Wow, these are gorgeous! So inspiring that something so beautiful is made out of what most people would just toss in the trash or recycle bin.
Jessica! I just got the package in the mail, yay!! I LOVE them! I have to admit, when I saw the post about the pincushions, and you’d said that two of them had a home, my greedy little mind was secretly hoping that one of them was coming to my home! :o) Thank you so, so much! I can’t wait to use them!
Thanks so much for posting this! I’ve actually been saving bottle bottoms for a similar type project, but now I see I need to save the tops too!
I’d love it if you’d drop by my blog linking party every Sunday/Monday

I’m doing this kind of project for school….. what kind of paint was used? spray paint? acrylic?
“what kind of paint was used? spray paint? acrylic?”
Most people who have done them use spray paint. The acrylic paint might help it have that more see through look though. I suggest trying each out and seeing what you like best or search the internet about painting on plastic and see what comes up.
