Pinterest Challenge: Autumn Edition

Hello there!  It's that time again for another pinterest challenge!  This time I decided to continue with my gold leafing kick and gold leaf a couple of bottles.

Here is my pinterest inspiration-

The person that did this used the foil from gum wrappers, but I wanted something a little more permanent so I opted to use the metallic pens.

I started with two glass soda bottles.

I soaked them in warm, soapy water so that the labels would easily peel off.

There was still a little glue left over so I let it soak a little more.

I wiped the rest of the glue off and had two plain glass bottles.

I recently added a silver pen to my collection, so here are my materials.

For the first bottle I drew a few freehand triangles then added a few stripes.  For the second bottle I taped it off and colored below the tape all gold.

Here is the finished product!

I plan to use these as water bottles for when we have company.  I will probably use them as a part of the table setting for Thanksgiving.
