Crafting 101

My apologies for not writing! Life got away from me and we had company and then school is about to begin…EEK! But I am back and here’s another knick knack that is lots of fun and easy and quick!

Have you ever thought of doing something neat with some old coke bottles? What about any type of glass bottle that we have lying around? Want a good reason to recycle? This idea is from ThriftDeluxe.com which is a website for do-it-yourself folks like us.

You simply drink or eat the contents of the bottle/jar, wash it out well and dry, then pour some paint in it, rotate the bottle so that the paint is covering it, then pour excess paint back into your jar. Be sure to rotate the bottle every five minutes or so as it dries to make sure it is all covered. Pop a flower in the bottle and you’ve got a cool looking vase!

Now, the website is British and the paint they recommend is PVA, but I’m not sure what kind of paint that is, but I would think that most craft paint would work for this type of project. Be sure and read the label on the paint to see if it would or not. The cool this with this is you’re painting the inside of the bottle, not the outside so you can still see the logo or if you have a clear jar, you can see the paint. Be creative and you could create all sorts of designs on this! Have fun!
