Page Six The Springville Herald September 2, 1976 Decanters made from old bottles By ALICE MORRELL I recently received a letter from Amy Kovassic of Lynchburg, Lynch-burg, Virginia, asking, "What can be done with old wine and bourbon bottles?" Here is one suggestion to turn -gallon whiskey bottles into attractive and useful decanters. de-canters. You will use: old square xk-gallon xk-gallon whiskey bottle, torn newspaper, flour and water, antique paint and stain, clear acrylic spray, glass marbles (3 large, 15 medium, and 3 small), 2 green pipe cleaners, 2 paper leaves (from craft shop or make your own from construction paper and wire), . butcher string, styrofoam ball, sand paper, white glue and a good clear cement. I recommend Kling-Kote Liquid Liq-uid Glass or AJl-Purpose Cement, No. 527, for cementing cement-ing the marbles. To make the mache, make a paste of flour and water to a consistency of heavy cream. Then tear (never cut) news- Jack Carlson to be feted at dinner here Jack Carlson, candidate for the US Senate and brother to Mrs. Keith Robinson, former residents of this city, will be honored at a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Clyde tonight at 8 p.m. A buffet dinner is planned for the evening.

Allow to dry. To hurry drying time, set in a warm oven ( no hotter than 200 degrees). When bottle and top are thoroughly dry, sandpaper lightly with fine paper until the bottle is relatively smooth to the touch. Now glue the butcher string in an attractive design (Fig. 1) around the bottom, along the top contour of the body of the bottle and around the top. Set aside to dry. Now paint the bottle and top with two coats of antiquing paint. Allow to dry, then stain and wipe to achieve antiqued effect. When dry, spray with two coats of acrylic spray. To decorate, use the marbles mar-bles glued in the shape of a bunch of grapes, using the three large ones at the top. Add the medium and finish with the three small ones at the bottom. Curl the two pipe cleaners and glue them and the two leaves in the top of the grape bunch (Fig. 1). This makes a very attractive attrac-tive decanter. I painted one a wedgewood blue and used green marbles; another in Chinese red, using clear glass marbles, and a third in gold, using amber marbles. All are very attractive. You may like to write bourbon, bour-bon, gin, etc., on the bottle if they are to be used as bar decanters. de-canters. Use liquid gold paint for this. These decanters make good bazaar items. Experiment and have fun. How to hide the pot was a discussion question at one of our recent garden club meetings. meet-ings. Many of the members have large collections of house plants and ceramic plant containers are costly, so our discussion revolved around how to make attractive, attrac-tive, inexpensive flower pot containers. Here are a few suggestions using inexpensive paper buckets or discarded ice cream cartons (the commercial commer-cial type). For an attractive sculptural effect, glue heavy cord or clothes line in a close free form design (Fig. 1). Allow Al-low to dry, then spray paint with two coats of cream color enamel. These are lovely as they are, especially a grouping of several, but you may wish to antique them. To do this you can use commercial antiquing glaze or wipe shoe polish on them. Wipe off as much as possible, leaving only enough to highlight the raised design. A paint bucket, painted then trimmed with ball fringe and braid glued on top and bottom is interesting and easy. Fabric shops have hundreds of braid selections to choose from (Fig. 2).
