Recycled Starbucks Bottles Flower Vases

Hola Amigos! I love coffee and I pretty much love everything that has to do with coffee...towels, magnets, CUPS (big addiction) tshirs (5 and counting) and sometimes...the little bottles coffee comes in! I had a few of them under the kitchen sink and since Spring is here, I decided to put it to good use!
I'm sure you have since this project around Pinterest a million times, but my dad use to say it's not about inventing the wheel...but how you spin it! LOL...so here are mine!

You will need, acrylic paint, Starbucks Iced coffee empty bottles and your imagination!
Pour a bit of the paint inside the bottle, swirl around to distribute paint all over, cover it up with the lid , shake it a bit, and without the lid on put them upside down to drip the excess and dry!


I think these little bottles would be perfect for Mother's Day with a little Coffee House Gift Card (Hint..Hint..Hubs!!!)


Or with a message of something good coming like "Breakfast in Bed"

Or Happy Mother's day!


I will put mine on a my kitchen window sill! They would look pretty with lids and all!

And they make pretty flower vases too!. Remember not to put water inside otherwise you will ruin the paint.

 Now days they have very pretty silk flowers that would look great all year long, but if you want to put real ones inside you might want to try my other DIY Painted Vases here!

Thank You very much for visiting today! I hope my project today gives you some good ideas of how to create something pretty with those old bottles under your kitchen sink! Have a Bright Shinny Day!

Besitos,
Lizy

    This is such a good idea. My son loved these when he was home (he probably still does, but he's grown now). ;)

    I like the personal touch w/the card.
