Step 1: Gather your supplies.

Step 2: Apply Decoupage Glue to the back of your paper or directly on the bottle. I did a little of both.

Step 3: Wrap the paper around the bottle, overlapping and smoothing down. Do not worry if it doesn’t immediately stay down. Apply more decoupage glue and smooth again. Allow to dry, and then reapply another coat of the decoupage glue. I allowed it to dry about 30 minutes in between coats.

Step 4: Using the decoupage glue, apply your photo to the outside of the bottle in desired position. Apply another coat of decoupage glue to entire bottle surface. Allow to dry for at least 1 hour. If you try to do anything else to it before an hour is up, the glue is much to sticky and your fingers will stick to it and pull some of the paper away. 

Step 5: While I waited for the bottles to dry, I made several tassels wrap around the necks of the bottle. You can use the tassel from the graduation, but being that I wanted to preserve it, I made my own.

Step 6: Simply Wrap the tassel around the neck of the bottle, insert some flowers and place in clusters of three on the table.
