Yellow flowers

Hello again, and happy Easter Monday to all of you. We've had a weather roller-coaster recently with really warm days and periods of winterly temperatures, but the Easter holidays couldn't have been more perfect: blue skies, sunshine, and pretty blooms everywhere. Matching the outdoors, we'd like to see "Yellow flowers" over at the Alphabet challenge blog.

For my DT inspiration, I decided to use napkin decoupage after ages. I found this *bottle of a popular beverage* amongst the crafting supplies at my rehabilitation, alongside with a pretty napkin featuring sunflowers. I got myself a bit of yellow acrylic paint, and applied it onto the bottle with a sponge. Not only is it way faster than using a brush, the coverage on smooth surfaces turns out to be way better.

I waited for everything to dry, and then placed the napkin onto the part where the label used to be. I glued the napkin on the glass using decoupage varnish, and let it dry for a bit. After that, I cut the napkin alongside the lines in the glass. To make the napkin stand out, I then took a string of gemstones - I didn't really plan this part, but the shimmering gemstone embellishment separated from my flipflops the other day, and I didn't want to throw it away. I figured it would make a nice touch to the glass bottle now vase, especially as it matches the colour scheme of my project.

In the end, bits of glue can be seen on the clear glass above the upper gemstone lining, but the string would only stay attatched after using a hot glue gun, and I'm not exactly familiar with using one. This is the best I could do, and not everything needs to be perfect. I think it gives vibrant soring vibes anyway, just as all the other yellow flowers out there.
