Few week back was my 28th birthday… m getting old #snob #snob. We had a small party at home, small for the count of people but a big one when i counted empty beer bottles. My husband was about to throw it in trash, but than i thought of doing some diy craft with them too.
I played with two kind of ways to color those bottles – painting the outer of the bottle with brush and paint and other one works from inside. Now lets note down
Item Required
– Empty bottle ( beer, wine, vodka.. even mason jar)
– Acrylic Paints
– Brush
– Old Newspaper
Procedure ONE
Let me first explain the procedure for first way of painting the bottle, which was not that amazing as later after drying it has some roughness on the bottle which does not impressed me a lot. It’s simple as painting any other thing in this world, choose the color of your choice and with the help of the brush start applying it on the outer sides of the bottle.
First, a thin coat and after it dries apply 2nd or 3rd coat as per required. Let it dry over night, next morning you can draw something pretty like me, i did small polka dots pattern with orange shade looks good on the green bottle.
Procedure TWO
Its my favorite, it just bring those blank bottle in life, so colorful, shining and smooth. And believe me its simplest than the above procedure. You just need to pour some Acrylic paint inside the bottle and than start revolving the bottle and spread the color inside it so that it will cover all the empty space.
Once done, just keep it upside down so as the excess color will come out and the rest inside the bottle get dry.
You can use these colored bottles as show piece, or as flower pot, choice is yours.
Note – Cover you work place with old newspaper while coloring the bottles to keep the space clean and safe.
P.s – i am adding few more ideas for color combination and use of color bottles.
