find some old bottles, from anything really....oil, pop, wine, etc....clean them really good, so as to get the sticky labels off. take some old paint from previous projects (or you could always buy samples at your paint store for about $5) and thin it with a little water. very little water, or it will run!
coat evenly by moving bottle. allow to dry. because i use laytex paint, i can't fill these with water and put flowers in them. solution? next time you buy real flowers, collect the little stem water containers or purchase some from a florist. now you can enjoy your bottles with single blooms. really pretty. super easy. enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower from CG. I love how these turned out...great job.
ReplyDeleteFollowing you now..! Love this idea...I wonder what would happen if I put white paint in a green wine bottle. I might have to try it!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for all the awesome comments ladies! I like the idea of trying white in colored bottles! I might try that too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVELY! I MUST DO THIS! And that wall paper is divine, such an incredible combo it makes with the new bottles!
ReplyDeleteThanks endlessly for linking up and sharing!
xoxo,

Thanks Jen, it's an awesome diy! So pretty! Obviously 100% customizable too, which is good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tip. I love these bottles. Especially that pretty pale blue color with the white ones. Wow, what an impact. and so simple to make, why didn't I think of that? They look just precious!
ReplyDeleteHow clever! I would have painted the outside :S
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you

They are fab! I just spray painted my bottles, but yours look so much more chic.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I found you over at Coast Charm and your blog is gorgeous! Love everything here. :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so very beachy -love them!!
ReplyDeleteoh, wow, now i know what to do with those wine bottles in the storage. Thanks for this great idea:)
ReplyDeletei am a follower here. care to follow back? thanks
Hi there - visiting from Coastal Charm. This is such a great idea! I have tons of clear bottles that I was ready to give away, now I know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteI saw a tutorial similar to this one that used special glass paint. While the translucent effect was nice, I really didn't want to run out and buy something like that-I love that yours uses leftover paint you already have-and that it came out looking so fantastic! Also-as an added bonus I can prove to my husband that saving all those different bottles and jars down in the basement wasn't really crazy-see, it's useful.

I love this! I will definately be making some for my mom as a surprise too....she will love these as much as me! :D
ReplyDeleteI bought this wallpaper from Home Depot....at the time I had to custom order it, but now they just keep it stocked, so it's readily available. I honestly can't remember the company name! So check out Home Depot. That's here in Canada though, so things might be different in the states. Not sure!

ReplyDeleteThis is a great tutorial, I tried this before and it went so wrong! The bottles look wonderful, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I've tried several times to make these but I just can't seem to get it down! They always streak or drip off the sides...perhaps I'll give them another try.

ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! Just found you through Pinterest. I really want to be able to put water in my bottles . . . . Do you think there's a different kind of paint that would allow this?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wish your beautiful blog allowed me to follow the comments. Please consider adding a plugin that would allow this.
Your work was simply amazing. I am impressed with you idea on how to make that simple bottle looks gorgeous. I so love it. We can make this also in our house as a family bonding I am very glad that I came across with your great work. You did an excellent project so please keep it up.

ReplyDeleteTried to reach you earlier by email. I found your painted bottle diy post while searching for images of painted bottles. Real Style is a fashion and culture site and we have written a similar post and we were wondering if we could use your images with a link back to your post and site. Let us know and thanks for your time.
