If you have guest coming for the not so distant future holiday season, there is no better time than NOW to get your guest bathroom in order. Having ordered and received these adorable Fractured Doll Embellishments from the Tim Holtz Ideaology line from Scrapbook.com, I decided to use them in this recycled cigar box, made guest room pretty.
Start by recycling a small bottle that might be a good size to put scented bath salts in, such as a small wine bottle or coffee drink bottle. Find an old vintage text book page (can be found at thrift shops), and tear out one of the pages. Measure the bottle and cut the page to fit the measurements. Wrap around the bottle securing with paper adhesive or double sided tape.
Make the bottle look more shabby chic by dry brushing the edges with black acrylic paint.
Embellish your fractured doll with pretty organza ribbon and a beaded embellishment of choice (this is one I handmade from bubble stickers, stickles and beads). Glue your embellishments to the doll using a strong adhesive such as e-6000 or Aleenes Liquid Fusion.
To secure your doll to the bottle, use some thin wire and strong adhesive.
Paint the lid a coordinating color and add other embellishments such as a small tag. Use a funnel to pour in bath salts.
I tucked my bath salts along with some guest bath soaps and this vintage doll head into a recycled cigar box. You can paint and embellish the box further with a smaller fractured doll and a nice stamped sentiment.
Your guests will LOVE your thoughtfulnes and beautiful touches!
