What to Do with Bottles!

Tomorrow Show is on SUMMER!!!! I hope to see you all there!

Spray Painted Glass Bottles

What do you do with the glass bottles you have after the "stuff" in them is gone? They don't recycle glass in my county so I have to figure something else functional to do with them. I like to make them pretty!

This used to be a sobe bottle. I liked the shape of it so I thought that I would make it prettier and use it as a vase! I cleaned off the label and gunk. I got my cheap spray paint I bought from the dollar store.

And started spraying away. (Yes, I did this project during the winter and am barely posting it!) I used two coats of paint on this bottle.
After it dried, I placed some flowers in it! The blue vase on the left used to be a salsa jar! It looks better spray painted too! You don't even notice the lizard on the side of the former Sobe bottle!!!

In this picture, I added some ribbon to the bottles. I don't know what I like better, the plain bottles or the bottles with ribbon.

I'm adding this to the glass bottle show that I hosted last Friday. My computer was broke and I couldn't download the pictures in time to add this to the show until today. There is still time to add a glass bottle project to the show or view the other projects HERE.
