perfume bottleMy daughter loves to paint and has started to use empty perfume bottles to turn into art.  She paints pretty flowers, hearts, or whatever she decides, on the bottle and sells them as art.  Some of the are big enough to be tiny vases, which are gorgeous after they get painted.  She shops in flea markets, yard sales, and antique shops looking for old perfume bottles.  Then she takes them home, cleans them up and paints them.  It is a really wonderful idea for a craft, that turns into beautiful art.  Sometimes they are used as vases, as I said, and sometimes just as decorative art.  The shapes of some of the perfume bottles are pretty by themselves, and when she paints them they really pop.  It is a good creative outlet for her, and a fun thing to collect for people who like to collect such art.  She makes pretty good money at it, and really has a lot of fun painting the bottles.  I'm very proud of her for the creativity she puts into each bottle and the care she takes painting them.
