Magic Reindeer Food Upcycled Rumchata Bottle

This past week between Christmas and New Years was a huge wrap up week for me. Things that have been hanging around waiting to be altered have been all fancied up! That just means I need to spend more time down at the second hand store keeping an eye out for fun things to change up! Oh dear, that will be hard! (Pun intended)

I have had this Rum Chata bottle hanging around for months! It was even spray painted white although it was mainly white before. Can you see how this shape would be alluring? Too bad I wasn't big on the contents. ;-) Lucky for me I found just the label on Etsy from Chocolaterabbit to help me turn it into a magic reindeer food container!

I really wanted this bottle to look old, grungy and like it had been around a while. I also wanted it to look magical! Some antique gold Prima bloom spray helped me age up the label quite a bit! I attached it with white glue, so it was able to take the spray. Love the little mirrors and that metal deer that Yvonne from Do More with Less sent me!

I was hoping for a bit of snow so my frosty bottle would have a nice backdrop, but so far it's been a fairly mild winter here. I had to settle for an evergreen tree in the background! I did add snowflakes to my bottle however and a glittery flower on top of vintage lace. The cap was altered with embossed metal tape that was treated with alcohol ink & gold paint. Of course more crystals & glitter around the metal cone that also was upcycled from my stash.

I have passed along this bottle to my Sister in Law. Hopefully their Elf on the Shelf can bring them some food next December to spread on the lawn so Santa's Reindeer's can refuel!

Happy Tuesday!
