Another flower wall-hanging made from the lids of recyclable bottles. You can see my first one here.
The scalloped lids around the base come from something we buy frequently but right now I couldn't say what. The second tier of petals is milk bottle lids. I have a fondness for Tropicana's Simply Orange and so the big center lid is from a Tropicana Simply Orange drink.
The bud is a French's Mustard cap. If you want to use the rest of the bottle you could always make a dress form model like I did.
The base is from some pre-fab shelves (no idea what such a small piece is for) and the stems are once again, straws.
I will be sharing this at:
That's cute! Thanks for sharing. Happy Thursday! :o) Larri at Seams Inspired
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I can think of so many bottle caps to use and turn them into so many pretty flowers. I can't wait to try this. I also loved your dress from model. Very cute ideas.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the cute things you make out of what I throw away without a second thought.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable.
You are very creative. You can see past the obvious and truly find the art. I love the dress form and I really love that nothing goes to waste.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and you kind comments.
