Description:

I haven't seen a swap like this so I hope enough people will be interested. I stumbled upon altered bottles and I'm in love with these little creations! Do a Google search for "altered bottles" to see what I'm talking about.

Find a glass bottle lying around, or you can get fairly cheap ones at WalMart, a craft store, or even a thrift store. The size is up to you; bigger will be easier to decorate but small vial-like ones are fine too, especially considering shipping costs.

Now the fun part... decorate your bottle with at least 5 different types of CRAP! You could start with a photo or sticky label, then embellish it with jewels, charms, buttons, ribbon, twine, wire, artificial flowers, paint, add a tag, anything you can think of! I've heard mod podge works on glass, otherwise try "duco cement" or "E6000" both found in hardware stores. Have fun :)

-- Be sure to wrap your bottle in PLENTY of tissue or bubble wrap to keep it safe in the mail! I suggest a small USPS flat-rate box (I think it's about $5.80).

-- Do NOT join if you can't afford the shipping or commit time to this swap. Flaking is like stealing.

-- If you're a member of this group (Sisters of Holy Crap) then you meet the rating requirements for this swap. Although I will still check each person and remove questionable swappers.

-- USA only because of shipping costs.

I'm so glad people are signing up! I had this posted publicly and it didn't get any signups. This will be fun :)

If possible whom ever gets me as a partner i would prefer a small sized bottle because it will be easier for me to display. Thank you
