UPCYCLING GLASS BOTTLES INTO VASES
An easy way to recycle bottles
Just some spray paint is enough to transform them
into colorful decor to bring Spring indoors.
Materials:
Glass bottles - rubber bands - painters tape - aluminum foil - scissors
STEP 1: Slide the rubber bands on to the bottle to create a striped pattern
STEP 2: Apply painters tape above the top rubber band
STEP 3: Cover the top of the bottle with aluminum foil and tape down the bottom edge, making sure that tape doesn't go below the tape that was applied in the previous step
STEP 4: Spray paint the bottle in several light coats until opaque,
waiting about a minute in between each coat
STEP 5: Wait about an hour or until the paint is fully dried before cutting off the rubber bands. Very carefully pull the rubber band away from the bottle and use scissors to snip it.
STEP 6: Remove the rest of the tape and foil and fill your new vases with flowers.
