Something else I've enjoyed covering in bits of paper is the bottle collection I had stashed in my larder, thinking I'd fill them with oil or booze one day. Now they are purely decorative, and simply made me happy to make! I think the ones with flowers on have a barge-like feel. I glued the lids on, and am now thinking it might have made sense to weight them a bit, but they're big bottles, they're probably weighty enough. I used regular PVA and then did a final coat or two of mod podge to make them more hardwearing. Oh, also I painted the bases black (because I had some black paint), and then covered that with mod podge too. I'd forgotten I'd bought that mod podge, and finding it was what started all this covering things with paper, as it happens. I've now run out.

 My tip (if you wanted one) is to start from one end (ie the top or bottom) and work your way to the other. If you try to go up one side it'll be heavier and roll off to that side, ruining your work. Also you will definitely put your hand on the sticky part by mistake. Just trust me.
