Birthday In a Bottle

May 10, 2016

Girlfriends - Birthdays - Gifts

I’m forever searching for ways to help my friends celebrate their special days without breaking the bank. I found these little bottles at a local craft store and right away knew what I wanted to do with them.  I wanted to make a birthday in a bottle.

(Anyone else hear Sting singing “Message in a Bottle”)

I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle yeah
Message in a bottle yeah

 

Birthday in a Bottle

They are super duper easy to make and take almost no time at all.

I grabbed up some odds and ends I had on hand.

  • Paper tassels
  • Glittered Feathers
  • Birthday Candles
  • Glitter
  • Sequins
  • Glass bottles with corks
  • twine, ribbon or yarn
  • cardstock or stickers

 

Birthday in a Bottle

In each bottle I put one birthday candle, a bit of glitter and lots of sequins.

Some bottles got a tag, others paper tassels or ribbon.

It’s a great project for using bits and pieces you have laying around your craft room.

 

Cupcake- Birthday Party in a Bottle

Keep the birthday in a bottle gifts in a basket and then when a friend has a birthday all you need to do is buy a cupcake and deliver it with your birthday in a bottle.

It’s a great way to say, “I thought of you” that won’t take a lot of extra time if you have them already assembled and ready to go!

 

What things do you do to help your friends celebrate their special days?

    Oh! And I thought you were going to talk about Jameson’s… LOL . This is a cute idea. Inexpensive to make, but VERY thoughtful.

      Ha Carol! Jameson would be a grand ol’ gift. 🙂

    And if it is one of your beader friends, he/she can make a holder for the bottle and put eau de toilette in it. Attached to a necklace, refreshing scent is available all day.
