DIY: Perfume bottle necklace (Mothers Day!)

-
EN

Perfume sample bottles are small and cute and this tickled my recycle mood. Hence today’s DIY post!

 I love receiving perfume bottle samples or any other samples from shops or from people but who doesn’t like getting freebies?

Anyway back to the sample bottles.
Are the bottles empty? Good! Don’t throw them away because we are going to make good use of the bottles and turn them into a jewelry piece by wearing it around your neck! And I’ll be showing you how to make it in this post.

And since Mothers Day is coming up, this could be a nice personal present as well for your perfume loving mum!

Parfum monsters zijn klein en schattig en dit bracht mijn inner recycle stemming teweeg. Vandaar deze DIY post!

 Parfum monsters of andere monsters zijn leuke hebbedingetjes vind ik altijd en ik ontvang ze graag van winkels en winkeliers, maar ik denk dat iedereen wel van freebies houdt toch?

Maar goed, terug bij het parfum monsters. Zijn deze leeg? Mooi en bewaar ze, want we gaan ze goed gebruiken en ze in een nieuw jasje stoppen als een sieraad! Een ketting om precies te zijn. Hoe je ze maak laat ik dus zien in deze post.

En aangezien Moederdag eraan komt, kan deze DIY een leuke tip zijn voor Moederdag cadeaus! Persoonlijke presentjes doen het altijd goed c:


Instructions:
  1. Dismantle the pump/spray from the sample bottles. 
  2. Add the (hot - cautions!) glue on the top rim and place a small chains around the rim against the glue. Press the chain against it for extra secure. Cut off the leftover tail of the chain and attach a ring on the end of it. Make two. 
  3. It's time to build the sample bottles next to each other so add hot glue length wise on the side of the sample bottle. Stick the 2nd bottle to it and repeat this process if you want to make it longer necklace. End your necklace with the 2nd bottle you have made on step 2. 
  4. Attach chains on the rings with one end: lobster claw and other end: extension end. 

My hand, my work table the entire house smelled like a beauty shop.

I am a little bit bumped out about the color of the glue: it's icky yellow. Oh well. 


 Finished!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na e...

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
