Here's a quick and easy DIY project for when you run out of your favorite perfume. And quick and easy is all I usually attempt.
I used a wrench to get the spritzer thing-y off the top. It was on very tight. So I ended up breaking the glass a little around the top. (Even quick and easy can be a challenge for me.) I took a heavy-duty emery board and filed it nice and smooth. Et voila!

One of my favorite perfumes, Angel, is actually refillable. So I'll take that back to the store for a refill when I've used it up. But for my other favorites -- a collection of empty perfume bottles used as bud vases would make a pretty vignette in the boudoir, n'est pas?
Very lovely and feminine.

Hi Deborah, this is one of my favorites by Chanel. Beautiful reuse of the bottle. Pretty rose.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend. cm
Oui, tres chic, Deborah!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend hugs sent to you.
I love the idea of empty perfume bottles for bud vases, simple but effective. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius, sweet friend. The perfeum bottle and rose together are extra romantic and enchanting. Happy October, dear Deborah. Hugs and much love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I'm all about quick and easy DYI projects too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Deborah. Coco would approve. I can't wait to try it. How clever you are.

I've kept some of my most favourite bottles too and made them into a little collection. Have used some as bud vases, but haven't done that for a long while. Your post reminded me.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are exquisite!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend...

Dearest Deborah,
ReplyDeleteYes, that makes for adorable little vases.
Over the years I've acquired quite a few from Baccarat, they used to produce the French perfume bottles for several houses. It always looks lovely and some I got dirt cheap because of a missing stopper. I did not care as I used them as tiny vases...
Hugs and happy weekend to you.

Great way to recycle! I save all of my perfume bottle, just because they are so pretty. They are hidden away so I don't get accused of being a hoarder! But this would give me a very good reason for taking them out of storage!
ReplyDeleteOh yes , I love this idea and have a few precious perfume and cologne bottles I haven't been able to throw away. A vignette of little perfume bottles each bearing a single bloom , lovely !
ReplyDeleteI have trouble throwing away a perfume bottle but never thought of trying to pull out the stopper. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteI like this because I used to wear Coco and love the scent. Angel is very nice too. I worked in close quarters with a lady who wore it, and never got tired of the scent. Good idea and very chic.
ReplyDeleteOh Deborah, you have captured my attention with this idea. You are incredibly resources. I love my Chanel Parfums too and I always hate to throw the pretty bottles away.
ReplyDeleteI love love love this and I am definitely doing this with mine.
Have a great week.
