Decorative bottles on your kitchen counter brightens the look of your kitchen. You may have seen them at hotels and shows. Now even you can have one at your own place. It's one of the simplest and cheapest ways to decorate your kitchen. The materials you need for this project are easily available at your home. When two or three bottles are grouped and placed, it adds to the beauty.
Steps
Choose the bottle. This step is important because it is the shape of the bottle that brings out the absolute beauty. Choose a bottle which is curvy and with different shapes.
Clean the bottle. Wash and dry the bottle completely before use.Advertisement
Choose the filling. Decide on what you are going to fill the bottle with. Some of the filling items used most commonly are vegetables and grains. Different colored capsicums that are shapely cut is very apt. Grains of varied shapes and colors will also look great. Again, it's your creativity and you can use any item that looks great to your eyes.
Fill the bottle. Now layer your fillings carefully with a proper symmetry. Use a funnel if necessary. To achieve a slanting layer, hold the bottle at an angle and fill in. Tap and adjust the bottle position until you get the desired look.
Preserve. A preservative is required to keep the filling fresh. Vegetable oil comes handy for this. Fill the bottle with the oil. It not only keeps the items fresh, but also adds a bright shining.
Seal the bottle tightly with a cork and if you want, tie a fancy ribbon.
Display your bottle. Your decorative bottle is now ready to decorate your kitchen counter. Decorative bottles can also be placed on fridge tops and dining tables too.Advertisement
