DIY TINY MESSAGE/PHOTO IN A BOTTLE
I’m definitely too excited about this one. I keep staring at it because I think it’s SO ADORABLE.
And: it’s incredibly easy.
So if you want to surprise your boyfriend, your best friend, your neighbour or your dog on Valentine’s Day with something self-made – this is the perfect gift.
Let’s get started.
What you’ll need:
- a tiny bottle
- a tiny picture
- some yarn and a needle
- scissors
The tiny bottle
I found mine at Woolworth and paid 2€ for four bottles. They had a variety of different sizes (even smaller ones). Probably your local craft store will sell those too and if you can’t find them anywhere, Amazon to the rescue.
The tiny picture
Copy and paste the picture you chose to Microsoft Word and adjust its size. You want to make it really small. My first print was too big for the bottle but the second one was perfect. (My pictures width is only about 1cm).
Instructions:
#1: Cut out the picture.
I wanted it to look like a tiny polaroid picture so I left a bigger border at the bottom than on the rest of the picture.
#2: Cut out a same sized second piece of paper to glue on the backside of the picture.
#3: Place double-sided tape on the plain piece of paper.
#4: Take some yarn, insert the thread into the needle, and push the needle through the cork.
#5: Press the yarn on top of the double-sided tape and put your picture on top of that.
#6: Carefully put the picture into the bottle.
Tadaaa! I told you it’s easy.
Have fun doing it yourself and tag me on Instagram if you decide to post it!
With love,
Uliana
