How to Make a 3D Wine Wall Art Decor

Wall art can add character to any room in a house, room, or office. Wall art can be traditional, such as sculptures, emblems, paintings, pictures, or mosaics. They can also be contemporary such as an artful display of lights projected to a wall. There are also other wall decors that are totally spectacular. For example, in a hotel in Las Vegas, the wall behind the front counter is virtually an aquarium with all colorful fishes swimming around.

Some of the best wall arts are three dimensional. The wall art has depth, length, and width, making it viewable in all three dimensions. An example of a 3D wall décor would be real or artificial flowers carefully arranged and hanged on the wall.

An example of a good contemporary décor is a good 3D wine arrangement. This is especially nice if the homeowner is a wine enthusiast. A wall picture or a painting of a bottle of wine, wine glass, and flower arrangement does not even come close with a 3D wall décor.

Here is how to make such beautiful wine wall art décor.

1. First find a nice empty wine bottle. This is the centerpiece of the décor. Although a clear one would suffice, a colored bottle usually looks better. Look for a bottle with a nice, dainty, unique design; it will add more character to the decoration. It is up to you if you want to remove the label or not; however, it would give your wine bottle its own identity if you include the label.

2. Clean the wine bottle thoroughly with cool water. Do not worry about the label; the adhesive is tough and doesn't dissolve easily. Dry the bottle completely.

3. Using water that is dyed with a dark color, fill the bottle halfway. This water represents the wine. Of course, it is perfectly okay to leave the bottle empty. Place a cork stopper to seal the water in. Set the bottle aside.

4. The next step is to prepare a flower arrangement. It is important to note that you should only use artificial flowers; real flowers wilt after a short time. Artificial flowers can be readily brought at a home improvement shop.

Arrange the flowers and the plants in an artful way, spreading out the blooms. The center area, from the top to the bottom of the arrangement, should be clear; this is where the side of the bottle is glued. You can have the flowers arranged yourself, or you can have a professional florist do it for you.

5. Glue the side of the bottle carefully to the flower arrangement, making sure it is centered. You should use epoxy or cynoacrylite; these adhesives are impervious to heat and water.

6. For this wine wall art décor, you may want to add other items, such as plastic grapes, artificial previous stones, and any accessory you can think off. Just be sure that they are firmly glue through the use of cyanoacrylite glue or epoxy.

7. Wrap a piece of wire around the neck of the bottle and form the remaining length to a hanger. Lift the arrangement on top of a soft surface to see if the wire can hold the entire arrangement's lift. Wrap the wire with florist tape. Hang the bottle-and-flower arrangement on the wall.

Bottle Cap Charm

What should I name my unique, handmade jewelry business?

I'm a 35 yr old married Momma of 3 great kids and I make unique jewelry. I make cool earrings using bottle caps and other beaded earrings. I also make charm bracelets. I'd like a creative but funky name for my jewelry because I want to have some business cards made up. I would like to combine classy & Southern with that if possible! lol I love in GA and am all about Southern stuff. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! If I chose someone's name I'll send you a pair of bottle cap earrings! Your choice either Coke or Beer, I call the beer earrings Beerings! :) Thank you in advance!

I just love that! It's creative and it makes me wonder what is inside the shop!

Adding Charms to Your Scrapbook

Thinking that scrapbooking is a stuff for the amateurs? Well, this time think again.

It takes so much creativity before a theme is produced. For sure, we are not the only ones who sat on the layout with a blank look. In fact, many scrappers experience that. These may be the days when no inspiration comes into mind. This is when inspiration seems to have dried down and concepts don't even pass your thoughts.

Well, there of course are many choices for you to resolve this. One, you can stop trying for sometime and go back to your project sometime later. This will provide "rest" for your mind. Don't do anything that you may associate with scrapbooking and don't even attempt to look at the materials. However, you may always go back to your works and see what you can do next. Afterwhich, you will be surprised at how many ideas would roll once you sit on your working area again.

The second would be to continue trying until a spark of inspiration comes in. This happen often, especially when you set your thoughts free. Who knows how much work will be done after you poured all your imagination on a page.

The bottom line is, there will always come a period when you become so drained and following after is the spread of inspiration.

When this time comes, try to imagine newer ideas. Then once you are done with your evaluation, you will see that in your past works have some flaws in them. Or if you are a beginner, the works of other people may have lacked something or provides an idea with the extra pop.

Your new layout theme screams for something cool, for something that is beyond papers, photos and markers. Probably, the album you are about to start requires embellishments, charms perhaps.

Indeed, scrapbooking has matured since your first trials on the filed during your grade school days. Many of the techniques, methods and materials used have all developed substantially that you can actually put all things that you want in an album, but of course with careful planning.

Because the plethora of scrapbooking materials have evolved dramatically during the past years, it is easier for us to use anything and everything in making masterpieces.

You may have tried using stick-ons, peel-offs and rub-offs. They all allow creative concepts, which are rather common. Or say glitters and chalk powder for added dimension and effects.

Charms are one of the many favorites among scrappers. Well they maybe the charms that you've been given since you were a kid or the charms you have bought some years back. Any of these two revolve around memories and that exactly what scrapbooks contain. They preserve memories of youth, of events or of things that are nearest to your heart. They are like memory keepers that you would one day visit.

Not all of us have these tokens though. Good thing, charms for scrapbooking are available in many local scrapbooking shops in wide array of pre-packaged designs, types and assortments. They are of course easy to find. Most craft stores have them and its just a matter of choosing the charms that you want to see a few years from now or choosing what you think will best fit your concepts.

Unlike bottle caps and a number of in the industry, charms will always provide the assurance that you get the worth of what you bought. There are certainly simple choices that would provide plain and basic designs that give you the advantage of manipulating them towards the goal you desire. And there are those that are intricately made that their mere presence in your album would be enough to consider them as parts of your memories. After all, charms have that touch of uniqueness that may never be had with ribbons, fabrics and bottle caps.

Charms are normally mounted on cardstocks, papers or on any mediums you use as your foundation for scrapbooking. Ensure though that when using charms, you are also equipped with strong adhesives and glues to assure better hold.

If you are not comfortable with this, you can try an alternative that is rather "cute". Turn your charms into danglies. Not only that they are fun to do, they also create less bulky pages.
