If you didn't know by now, I kind of spray paint everything as my quick decor fix. But recently I dreamed up a new idea for my spray painting ways.
These recycled bottles have been re-styled to be used as centerpieces, vases or gifts. Today we are doing IZZE bottles, but don't forget to check out my similar jar project to see more colors, sizes and ideas.
This project is so simple.
1. Remove labels from bottles. ( You can soak them in hot water and dish soap for extra help)
2. Dry and clean
3. Pick your spray paint choices: Seen above is Satin Ivory.
4. Spray paint box carrier too!
You get the idea...
Some spray painting tips... Cover area with newspaper or drop cloth first. Wear a mask or be careful not to inhale fumes. Don't spray into the wind!!! Wait for your first layer to dry and stick the bottle on your finger to get a good coat around the bottom sides.
And the flowers seen above are Ranunculus. (one of my favorites!)

Love this! I'm going to have to try it this weekend!
Did you use spray paint on the container as well? Super cute idea! I am going to use it for my friend's bridal shower as the guest favors. :)
Yes even the container is spray painted!
just did this tonight but the spray paint is already chipped and cracking in places! how do I prevent this? such a fun idea!
What a fabulous and fun idea! Love it!
I pinned this on pinterest today without realizing that they were actually spray painted bottles and not milk glass! So beautiful! So simple yet striking!
Becky, spray paint one coat and completely let it dry before you spray paint a second coat. There is also a glaze you could put on it from a craft shop... but I think if you do the coats solidly you'll be ok!
This is really great. I think I'm going to try it out for my wedding centrepieces - it's such a simple but beautiful idea!
super cute idea, I am going to do these for my homemade lotion I make for gift giving. . thanks for sharing. . .
Found these at cozysocksandpolkadots.blogspot, and I think they are gorgeous. Nice job.
