Petite French Apothecary Bottles

by - June 05, 2011

I'm a bit obsessed with making these little French apothecary bottles.  I love browsing The Graphics Fairy and then picking out which images I think would look lovely on each front.  The trick is finding an image that won't look distorted or out of place because to fit these little guys to the front of each bottle, you have to print wallet size!

I got some new seam binding on Friday so I got busy tea-staining it just for this batch of bottles. 
Add some matching rhinestones and you've got a pretty little present for perhaps a teacher or for a house-warming gift.
