Let's Get Trendy! 3 'Textured Layers' Altered Foam Bath Bottle

Finally - here is my project that's up today at Let's Get Trendy! 3

 HERE.  I blogged about it last week HERE - it's the FREE online

 workshop that I am a part of - we are focusing on 5 trends & there

 are 32 of us providing {hopefully!} inspiring projects for

 everyone & there are prizes for each challenge too!  We are still 

taking sign-ups so check out either link & be there or be square!!

I took a bubble-bath bottle & altered it.  I have a tutorial for it

 coming up here within the next few days so check back for that!  

I love the smooth & simple shape of this bottle & love this brand of Foam Bath & can't live without it - but the label is not the prettiest - even though the contents smell fantastic & the product is fabulous - so I thought it would be a great item to alter & keep as a gift for someone very special this Christmas {yes I do know who but can't say here in case they spy!!}

I started by wrapping the bottle with pages from Prima's new 'Divine' collection.  I used my new Martha Stewart Heart punch again as well as Prima bling across the top & Prima bling lace across the bottom, inking & gessoing along the way as one does LOL.

Then I layered up lots of luscious layers as per the spec  - 

'Textured Layers' - using hand-dyed gauze, flowers & trinkets.

I hot-glued this all down so it would be extra strong, given

that it would be handled regularly.

I sealed everything with a light spray of Glitter Varnish to waterproof it - seeing as this item is destined for the bathroom.  (Although I still have it on display in my dining-room because I can't get enough of it's shabby delightfulness!!}  

Thanks so much to my friend Yvonne Yam, Julie Tucker Wolek & Amy Tsuruta  for inviting me to join them & their friends at Let's Get Trendy! 3

Will you join us?  The workshop & challenges are going on all month!
