DIY: Painted Bottle Vases

PAINTED BOTTLE VASES

"The energy saved when you recycle one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours." (Wasinger 23).

Materials you will need:

-Green glass wine or beer bottles

-Tape or rubber bands

-Any paint/spray paint

Step 1:  Collect and remove the labels from the bottles.

Step 2: Simply wrap the rubber bands or masking tape around the bottles for the desired design.

Step 3:  If you are using spray paint, you may want to do this part outside. Spray the paint throughout the bottle until it is completely covered. Same thing with acrylic paint. Use a brush to fully paint over the bottle.

I thought this DIY turned out pretty great. It seemed like a hard process at first but it was actually pretty simple! What did you guys think of this DIY?
