In a wooded area behind our community park in the early 30's and 40' was used as a trash dump. I like to go back there and see what kind of treasures I can dig up. I have dug up dozens of old bottles which I have a strong affection for. I use them as sort of an unconventional home decor. I had the idea of dressing them up a bit by using drawer pulls, door knobs, crystals, and old keys. I had fun with this project and I like the way it transformed my trash to a little treasure!
A few bottles I recently dug up waiting to be cleaned. I really need to find a good tip for cleaning these things????

ReplyDeleteI love old bottles too! Try Denture cleaner... it helps a lot!
ReplyDeleteBren, So pretty! I really like your bottle collection and the make-shift bottlestoppers are adorable. I use coarse kosher salt and ice cubes inside bottles (or coffee pots) and swirl it around to break up the grime.
