This is a story about a lonely glass bottle and a yarn of wool. The bottle was lying in the kitchen, moping, ready to be thrown out when the colourful wool came to the rescue. Along with a handmade paper Dahlia and some quilling rolls, our little bottle got a complete makeover.
I bought this yarn at Lincraft sale without any project in mind. It has been with me for months. Now that the temperature sometimes drop to -2 Degree Celsius, I hardly venture outside during weekends. That means, more time for paper craft projects. 😀
The process was pretty simple, I applied some craft glue around the bottle and started wrapping the wool around it. Once that was one, I made a Dahlia following this tutorial.

Indeed very pretty. You are a master in the craft. the way you connected with the sad tale of loneliness of the bottle is very catchy.
Hahaha thank you so much

Thank you so much Aditi.
What a pretty bottle! It turned out great! Glad the bottle is less lonely now that you wrapped and decorated it. So -2C keeps you inside, eh? That's balmy and tropical over here in our Canadian winters! Haha!
Thank you Cathy… hahaha I don't even know how people can walk in temperature less than that… I just feel like burying myself in blankets.
