It’s known to mankind (aka the husband) that I hoard unnecessary random objects. To me they are absolutely NOT unnecessary. My motto has always been “You NEVER know when you might need them!” and I’m still standing behind this ideology. In our relationship, I’m ALWAYS right.
For instance, I like to keep empty glass bottles. Even Fish Sauce bottles! Before you conclude that I’m crazy or side with the husband, hear me out. Fish sauce bottles are fairly unique (although they look like any other empty glass bottles, but that’s besides the point). The one I kept actually has this cool logo mark embedded on the glass!
Anyhow, I like to upcycle my glass bottles and use them as vases. I think it’s so chic to have a flower branch or some sort just chilling out in one of these bottles. I usually have them lined up on my kitchen window sill.
Just recently, I decided to dress them up. I’ve been a huge fan of Chevron AND Gold and thought it would be neat to incorporate those obsessions onto my fish sauce bottle.
Here’s how it went down:
What you’ll need. Btw, do you see that cool logo on the fish sauce bottle?
Overlap the tape strips in a continuous zigzag pattern.
Ta-da! I’ve adorned my super stylish vase with a branch of gorgeous cherry blossoms.
I like that my chevron pattern is not perfect. It has an organic feel. Don’t worry if your pattern doesn’t come out symmetrical.
Only chevron and gold could make a fish sauce bottle look this good!
Hope you’ll try out this fabulous diy project.
Happy Friday!
This is so cute! I’m also a bottle hoarder, so I appreciate this!

Hi Kellie, I know this post is a couple of weeks old now and I’ve already commented on it but I saw this nail design on Pinterest and immediately thought of you (hell-o! gold chevron!!) and wasn’t sure how else to send the link to you. Hope you enjoy: http://pinterest.com/pin/511017888938714845/ (and hopefully the link works!). Len

If you can do that with a plain old fish oil bottle, your husband has NO SAY in the matter. Just beautiful.
