Ps 139 Tutorial

Supplies needed:

bottles- I have used 4" to 7".

Printed copies of Ps.139:17,18
(I love to use different fonts for these)

another background paper
(I have used music paper, stained paper towels,
coffee filters, or any other paper I can find.)

Glue- glue stick, tacky, mod podge, mat medium all work.
hot glue gun for lid

ink pad and brush for dry brushing edges.

old lace trim, buttons, tiny sea shells

(the paper used here are a coffee filter,
and some paper I found on a roll at a sale.
I crumpled it up and stained it.)

Tear paper with verse on it,
and tear paper for background a little larger.
Use your bottle size as a guide..

Dry brush both pieces of paper.

Adhere background paper, then scripture paper.
Wipe off around paper where glue has smeared around.

Fill jar with sand.
(do not forget this step.
It is hard to do with lid on) =)

Find a button or two for the 'lid'.
Buttons with shanks work best. No holes =)
Choose one that is at least as big as top of bottle.

I hot glue the larger one on, making sure
hot glue goes entirely around edge to seal sand in.
Then add a tiny sea shell, or smaller button on top of it.

Trim with old lace, ribbon etc.
I do not fancy mine up much.
I like the simplicity of them,
and want the word and message to be the main part of it.
(although I am thinking a little cheesecloth,
or some of my teabag roses might be nice).

Here are some I have done in the past:
(sorry, all sold)

Round bottles.
Hard to find.

Small bottle framed version.
(adapting when I cannot find the larger bottles)
I have another in the works.


Here are some finished.

Still trying to get over this back neck thing. UGH!!
Hopefully another tutorial coming soon.
