Here's a hint: To make your bottles stand up without wax, use a standard circle paper punch from the school supplies and thin clear acetate packaging. Glue the transparent circles to the base of your various perfume bottle using a touch of Super glue.and- Ta Da!

Thank you for encouraging us to play- people of *all* ages need some play in our lives. Great idea for unmatched earrings! I have some beads similar to yours and can't wait to get started! BTW, I have 3 dolls and a doll wardrobe that *are* vintage perfume bottles! My older brother found them at a flea market and gave them to me when we were teenagers (at least 30 years ago). They're a little larger than 1/12 scale, so they have their own roombox with a few other oversize pieces. I love the idea of giving the real perfume bottles fake perfume bottles to use. 😄

I was just wondering, wouldn't wax make more realistic looking soaps than clay? Soap has a waxy translucent appearance that clay would find hard to mimic, but wax has that same exact look and feel. The bars you made are shaped perfectly, and Just the right scale. It's only their materials that hold them back in my opinion. Your work is so exacting and your attention to tiny details such that I hope you find this suggestion helpful.

@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Glad I could help. If you want an opaque bar, try coating one of your clay bars in wax to see if that looks more realistic.

Hi LINDA! I had to try a few to figure it out. I used Gorilla Gel Super Glue but I have totally switched to LOC -TITE SUPER GLUE GEL. The GEL formula is not runny and it gives a little wiggle room before it sets. Plus it has a precision tip so the glue comes out in very small amounts. Perfect for bead perfume bottles 😅❤️ l hope they s helps. Let me know how you like it. I will add link in description.
