Decoupaged bottles filled with fake flowers
I love finding cool bottles to decoupage. Mod Podge is thinned down version of glue but works much better. Using a paint brush, coat a small area with the Mod Podge, then put the colored paper in place. Then paint more Mod Podge on the top of the paper to give it a finished look. I like Mod Podge that has a matte finish but glossy finish is nice, too. 

If the bottle has more of an angular shape I use one piece of paper per side. If the bottle is completely round I do use a collaging technique. I cut the paper into small pieces and have them overlap. 
The bottles on the far left and right use the collaging technique, while the inside two bottles use the larger pieces of paper.
