Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence Tray

Good day lovelies!  I was sorting through our stash the other day when I found some empty perfume bottles.  Mom loves collecting perfume and even saves each and every bottle we use.  I had these Davidoff Cool Water bottles from way back high school and I am so glad I found them.  These bottles definitely bring back memories.  I thought these bottles would be great vases, so I went ahead and cleaned the four same-sized empty bottles.  I removed the cap and the sprayer using pliers and stainless steel cuticle pusher.  I washed and dried each bottle.  I also made a "picket fence" to house my vases.

For this DIY, we will need the following materials:
Faux flowers of your choice.  (Make sure they match the perfume bottles.)
Some Popsicle sticks
A pair of scissors
Glue gun + glue stick
Empty perfume bottles
Repurposed Perfume Bottles with Picket Fence TrayAfter removing the bottle cap and sprayer and cleaning the empty perfume bottles, I then got 10 pieces of Popsicle sticks then cut them in half.  We now got 20 pieces of small Popsicle sticks that would serve as our  "fence."

I set those aside then made the base.  I basically made a square that would fit the four perfume bottles and glue everything in place.  I had 8 horizontal Popsicle sticks attached to two vertical sticks for this base.

I then got my small Popsicle sticks then glued five of them to two full-size Popsicle sticks.  I spaced them out evenly so they would look like fences.  I attached each side to the base using glue.  I braced the fence to make it sturdier by placing Popsicle sticks inside the tray.
