LIVE laugh LOVE Milk Bottles-DIY

Oh...I love love love these! I CAN NOT lie! And they are a fairly easy DIY creation. Clicking though blogland I stumbled upon this idea at Kindness Matters. Tracy did such a great job and I loved her bottles at first sight. Sooo~~>I made my own "redefining" them a tad. Thanks Tracy for the wonderful inspiration! I love how your bottles turned out!

*here are MY bottles...I had to post the pic up here so that the pic showed up in the blog reel. Anyone know how to choose which picture I want to show up?*

OK...

Here are her white bottles

embellished just right

 and topped with super cute ribbon:

If you haven't already guessed...these are frappucino bottles. Purchased in a 4 pack and filled with YUM-O flavored coffee inside. They are kind of spendy but a girl has to do what a girl has to do! =)

So here's what I did to "redefine" 'em:

Washed 'em of course. Lids too.

Then I put some Divine White paint inside with a tiny bit of water. I turned the bottles slowly until the interior was coated well. I poured the extra paint out and into a cup. I waited and waited and waited for the excess to flow out. But only until I was happy with how much had ran out and then called it good! I set them outside to dry. It took all day.

In the meantime, I spray painted the lids using Rustoleum's Textured Dark Brown. How stinkin' fun is that paint?? I also used it HERE on a set of decorative DIY jars.

I wrapped the neck of one bottle with hemp and tied the other two with burlap strips. No rhyme or reason as to how much hemp or how wide of strips. Just went with it! ;)

Then, I created an Up Words & On Words vinyl design and used my Silhouette to cut the lettering in Turquoise. I placed the vinyl on the bottles, put the lids back on and

 BAM! Cute-ness x3.

Whattaya think?

I {LOVE} them!
