DIY Glitter Champagne Bottle

Hey Everyone!!! I haven't posted in quite awhile, so here we go. My best friend is turning 21 so I decided to decorate a champagne bottle for her! This bottle I used two different glitter colors to create an ombre look.


*Just a forewarning, you should do this outside or someplace where you don't mind seeing glitter for 2 weeks! I made the mistake of doing it on my patio and I literally had to vacuum the glitter between the bricks! Uhh such a mess :) 

1. Prepare your glitter. I set mine up on three different plates. A pink one, a gold one and a mixture of the both!

 




2. Remove the Label. The next step is to remove the label, try to get as much off as you can and then soak the bottle in a bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes. The rest should peel right off! 



3. Spray Adhesive. Now I sprayed a portion of the bottle with spray adhesive. You can find this at any craft store. I bought mine from Jo Ann Fabrics. Over a plate, sprinkle the darkest glitter on the portion of the bottle you sprayed! Mine would be pink! 



4. Glitter!!! Now spray the next portion of the bottle with your spray adhesive and use the mixture of your two colors, so I mixed pink and gold!

*See how nicely it blended! Especially on the plate lol!

5. More Glitter! Now we are going to use the lightest color, so mine is gold. Again, spray the portion you have left with spray adhesive and cover in your lightest color! You will really be able to tell its ombre after the last color!


And Voila! Here is your finished product!

I had a lot of fun making this bottle, but I CANNOT repeat enough do it outside!!

Until next time,
Cal

Spontaneous Road Trip

This morning Kurt and I woke up and decided we wanted to take a spontaneous road trip. Where to? We didn't even know that answer.. After a needed trip to Starbucks at 7:45 am we decided that the Florida Aquarium in Tampa Florida was going to be our final destination!

After 4 accidents on I-75 we arrived!!






*I look so awkward, but the stingrays are cool! 

*THE biggest grouper EVER!!!!!!

*Hoot Hoot

*My everything <3 


"Hey there Mr. Grumpy Gills"

*My all time favorite, sea turtles!!!!

*And of course, the obligatory Hooters stop!

That hooters was literally 200 feet from the aquarium which is great because I have to stop at every one and collect a shirt! 

This was overall an amazing little trip away from home, I am so blessed to have such a great person like Kurt in my life.. Today wouldn't have been the same without him!
