Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence Tray

By Invisiblestilettos
Good day lovelies!  I was sorting through our stash the other day when I found some empty perfume bottles.  Mom loves collecting perfume and even saves each and every bottle we use.  I had these Davidoff Cool Water bottles from way back high school and I am so glad I found them.  These bottles definitely bring back memories.  I thought these bottles would be great vases, so I went ahead and cleaned the four same-sized empty bottles.  I removed the cap and the sprayer using pliers and stainless steel cuticle pusher.  I washed and dried each bottle.  I also made a "picket fence" to house my vases.Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence Tray
For this DIY, we will need the following materials:Faux flowers of your choice.  (Make sure they match the perfume bottles.)Some Popsicle sticksA pair of scissorsGlue gun + glue stickEmpty perfume bottlesRepurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayAfter removing the bottle cap and sprayer and cleaning the empty perfume bottles, I then got 10 pieces of Popsicle sticks then cut them in half.  We now got 20 pieces of small Popsicle sticks that would serve as our  "fence."  Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayI set those aside then made the base.  I basically made a square that would fit the four perfume bottles and glue everything in place.  I had 8 horizontal Popsicle sticks attached to two vertical sticks for this base.Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayI then got my small Popsicle sticks then glued five of them to two full-size Popsicle sticks.  I spaced them out evenly so they would look like fences.  I attached each side to the base using glue.  I braced the fence to make it sturdier by placing Popsicle sticks inside the tray.Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayI then placed my perfume bottles and faux tulips to complete the project.  I placed it above our small book shelf.  I really love how it turned out.  I was thinking of painting the tray white but then it already matches our picture frame and our small windmill display, so I did not paint it.  Here's how it looked like after :)Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayDid you enjoy today's DIY?  What DIY projects would you like me to make next?  Let me know in the comments section below :)  Have lots of fun guys!
