Blogger Challenge: Week 241

This week’s blogger challenge theme is alter it. I filled an empty plastic bottle with some yummy smelling bath salts and dressed up the bottle to make this pretty little gift.

The bottle is wrapped with a strip of patterned paper. I added some lace and pearls around the bottom edge of the paper for an extra feminine touch. A strip of the same patterned paper covers the side of the bottle cap and a pair of layered circles covers the top and ties the pieces together.

I made a pretty tag to let the recipient know what’s inside the bottle. The tag’s base is made from a die cut label shape. I stamped the table and bottles image from Our Craft Lounge’s Pretty and Pampered set on a white label and colored the image, then set it on the top of the tag. The “soak your cares away” sentiment is stamped inside the tag. I used a pretty yellow satin ribbon to attach the completed tag around the neck of the filled bottle.
