This article, entitled April's Crafting Tip Tuesday - How to Make a Bottle comes from April Vicary at April's Crafting Addiction.

To make your bottle, get out your big shot and the Apothecary accents framelits and use the big one. (as shown) You're going to follow these steps:

• Get out your big shot


• Then the multipurpose platform


• One standard cutting pad


• Your white cardstock


• Your large framelit with ridge face down


• Place the last standard cutting pad on top


• Now you have a sandwich

Crank the big shot so your sandwich goes all the way through. Now, you have the basic shape. You're going to draw a bottle free-hand or look for a bottle template online. Cut out and stamp your ship or other sea scenery as shown above. That is how you make a ship in a bottle.
