I have some bottles like this one, except mine are clear. They
belonged to Row-behr-to. http://tinyurl.com/5rztq9

I want to put herb vinegar in them and enter them in the Fair.
I expect to use a cork stopper.

What can I do to jazz them up? They will be judged solely on their
appearance as a group of five bottles. I'm not good at this stuff.

Labels? Tags? Seal? Fwoofy stuff? Raffia? Metal?
I'm open to suggestions and looking for help.

Thanks.

Is this to be an arty exhibit or food exhibit? If food, then seeing what's
inside might be an important consideration. That bein' the case I might run
a brush dipped in color or metallic around the bottom (and? top?) edge.
And/or maybe ONE herb leaf painted on the jar. I might twist one or two
faux (silk?) leaves (or flowers depending on the innards) round the label
tie ribbon. I'm all for less is more here.
Can't wait to see the end results!

those are gorgeous! i'd put a real dark balsamic vinegar in one, dip
the top in wax and tie some dark small vines tied around the top so it
looked like rosemary or thyme.

i'm not very crafty!

Simple label printed on *clear* label stock -- except I'm not sure how
will it will stick on those globe-shaped surfaces. I guess I'm no help.

raffia (coloured or plain) and tags have been done, and I would have
suggested it, maybe with an appropriate 'pendant' tied to it?......I like
the wax idea mentioned by snow....is there anything floating in the vinegar?
if there is, let it speak for itself. Simple label and seal. Unless it is
'artsy', then go nuts. You can go to a You-Brew type place and get the seals
they put on wine bottles (there's prolly a name for those seals, but I've
had some wine, and I'm drawing a blank ;-))

I'd like to see what you end up doing...
