DIY Decorative Bottle with Polaroids


I've always enjoyed decorating with bottles; they are very versatile and can make beautiful decor pieces. You can decorate them with flowers, sand, seashells, lights, and more. In this case, I decided to decorate it with a photo from a very special trip and add fairy lights for a unique touch.
Materials you'll need:
A clear glass bottle with a lid or cork.
A Polaroid photo (or a photo printed to the size of a Polaroid).
Glue stick or double-sided tape (optional).
Long tweezers (optional).
Small LED lights (optional). (Link)
Instrucciones:
1. Prepare the bottle:
- Make sure the bottle is clean and dry. You can use an empty wine bottle, a decorative liquor bottle, or any other transparent bottle you have on hand. The one I used is from Ikea.
2. Choose and prepare the photo:
- Select a Polaroid photo you like. If you don’t have one, print a photo to the appropriate size and trim it to fit perfectly.
- Ensure the photo is dry and flat.
3. Place the photo inside the bottle:
- If the bottle opening is wide enough, you can carefully slide the Polaroid inside. If the opening is narrow, you can use long tweezers to position the photo.
- Make sure the photo is vertical and visible through the glass. If needed, use glue stick or double-sided tape to secure the photo to the inner wall of the bottle.
4. Add decorative elements (optional):
- If the bottle is large enough, you can place small LED lights inside to illuminate the photo and give it a magical effect.
5. Seal the bottle:
- Place the lid or cork on the bottle to seal it. Make sure it’s tightly closed to prevent dust or moisture from getting in.
- You can decorate the outside of the bottle with jute twine or decorative thread. Wrap the twine around the neck of the bottle and tie a bow for a rustic touch.
6. Display:
- Find a special spot to display your decorative bottle. It could be on a shelf, an accent table, or even as a centerpiece. The bottle will not only serve as décor but also as a beautiful reminder of your captured memories.
And that's it! Now you have a decorative glass bottle with a Polaroid inside that adds a personal and charming touch to any space.
