Well, hello lovely…

When I posted about my DIY glitter bottle, a friend asked me if I wanted to recycle her Starbucks bottles. Um…yes, please. Even though I had no idea what I would do with them, I figured I could put them to some sort of good use. And if not, hey – I could just toss them into my recycle bin and call it a day.

Thanks to a few inspiration links via pinterest {thanks Crafted by Lindy & Pretty Handy Girl!}, I decided to paint the inside of these bottles and use them on my living room shelves.

All I used were washed & dried bottles,

paint {my free paint from Ace! woot!} & a paintbrush.

All the tutorials I read said to use spray paint or craft paint and swirl it around with the caps on the bottles. Instead of doing either of those methods, I just stuck my brush down inside the bottle and painted away.

I did 2 coats to get rid of any of the see-through spots you see in the picture above, let it dry thoroughly, and bam! stuck them on my shelves.

There are 2 more bottles I painted, but I can’t show them to you yet…I’m a little behind on sharing things I’ve been working on in my home. Hopefully, next week I will share that project – and then as soon as I get some decent pics, I can finally show you what I did with my pallet! Hooray – can’t wait!
