My Passion for the environment ...bottle deco.


Fast and easy finish project- glass bottle dress
See the pictures below my crochet hooks and basket of yarn...used for making trash to treasurer...that is "my passion for environment"
my creativity helps me create things out of these underneath tools....


I picked these yarns lying with me for ages, I made with them popcorn flowers for cushions, little birdies…etc…etc…it was still….it was in my mind that ….i couldn’t leave it behind! I decided to use it for this project to add a little deco and colour and whimsy to our living room and because it coordinates with my favorite piece of art that we own.


It took me about 10-15 minutes to put the whole thing together.

I made the flower first the flower you can see behind the bars, in the picture below in full bloom…I think happy to be used for display here…waiting for his turn …tired rest in the bags of yarn stash …or basket.



This is my own design....
The pattern for glass dress
To start the ring of the bottle dress
I wrapped orange yarn around the tip of my ring-finger 7 times,
Slip stitch into the circle/ring, 2 chains, it makes the first treble in the circle, 17 trebles in the ring
18 trebles in the ring, join with slip stitch on top of the ist 2 chains, it makes the base of the bottle dress.
2nd to 4th round----as the base round , join the round--- 18 trebles.
5th round ---slip stitch into 2 treble space, chain 15 slip stitch into 2nd treble space, repeat 8 more times---9 rings.
6th round---join with slip stitch in with same orange yarn ..in center of any of the ring, chain 2 for treble 2 more treble in the center, three trebles in next ring, work all around in the same way----28 trebles, join with slip stitch.
7th round--------2 chain for 1st treble in 2 treble space, treble in each treble space--- 28 trebles.
8th round-----same as 7th round fasten off.
9th round ----join with slip stitch in white yarn, continue as 7th round.
19th round----chain 50 slip stitch into 2nd treble space, continue through round ----14 big rings in the round ----fasten off.

For casing ----chain 5 ,slop stitch into 2nd 2 treble space, go in the same way through the round ---14 rings for casing.
Insert folded yarn …around 6 inches into the 5 chain rings of casing round.
Make up insert the dress into the bottle , tie the double yarn in the casing tightly into the double knots, wrap –up and hide the yarn ends …
