6. Pressed Flower Bottle Lantern
Preserve a piece of nature by decoupaging pressed flowers onto the exterior of your bottle. This creates a stunning, botanical look that feels very artisanal and romantic.
How to Make
Collect thin, flat flowers or leaves and press them in a heavy book for several days until they are dry and flat. Clean your bottle and apply a layer of Mod Podge. Carefully place the flowers onto the glass, then apply another thin layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal them. Once fully dry, place a single, high-output LED candle inside. The light will illuminate the delicate veins and colors of the flowers, making the bottle look like a botanical specimen.
