Repurposed pretty jars and bottles

 

We all have bottles and jars in our refrigerator

that we can repurpose to make simple flower vases

The pictures turned out just okay.  Still learning to use my new camera

 (hence the date stamp that I could not figure out how to remove). 

 

 

salad dressing, vinegar and mayonnaise bottles -- soak and remove labels (smear peanut butter on the jars and the labels peel right off)

wash and dry bottles (completely)



 

Purchase sample paints from Lowes or Home Depot. 

Essex Blue, Young Green and  Ultra White were used

 

Pour paint into bottle and completely cover inside of bottle, pour out excess paint

Next, was the hard part- the bottles
 took FOREVER to dry on the inside even when sitting in the sun

Twine and keys purchased from Michaels and Archivers decorate the outside



 

Purchase simple roses and tubes from your local florist or grocery store

The single flower water tubes were .20 each
