Sad Small Vessel

This lovely failure is brought to you by a good friend of mine who also often crashes and burns with crafting. She attempted to recreate a painted bottle with lettering craft using an old soda water bottle, a hot glue gun, and spray paint.
Step number one was to add the lettering to the bottle using the hot glue gun. She tried to make it easy on herself by drawing the letters on with Sharpie first.


Despite her efforts, the lettering turned out a little inaccurate. Regardless of this, she moved on to faze two: applying the paint.


This also didn't turn out as well as she hoped. The paint came out a little drippy leaving her with droopy letters and paint drips. We will just blame it on spray painting outside in the dark at night. To the best of my knowledge, this bottle is displaying proudly in a San Francisco window somewhere, almost spelling out the word "GROW".
