Degraded Image: Valentine’s Gift By Gabrielle Turgeon

Step 10: Decorate Craft • Using clear tape, tape your photo around the bottle. • For stylistic purposes, you can cut the corners off the photo once it is taped to make it look a bit neater.
Voila! • Last step is to give the craft as a gift. • As it is handmade, it is bound to be a hit. • Probably…
