DIY Flower vase



 o


Hi all creative people,

Its been a long time, I have not shared my creations with you all.. sorry about that.. ;)
This time what i am sharing with you guys is really a very very simple project but still very cute and decorative. Waste thing i have used in this project is Starbucks Frappuccino empty bottle. I love Starbucks coffee and thus i get this bottles very frequently, so i got a thought lets recycle it in some cute and fast home decor.

Firstly what i did is to remove all unwanted stickers from the bottle using the hot water and the butter knife(wear gloves while doing this), actually first step is to drink this yummy cold coffee from the bottle.. ;) & when all stickers are removed let it dry before you start painting on it.. I have used acrylic colours and have done 3-4 layers of paint.. As you can see in the above picture i have used bright orange colour as my base paint and ya let the previous layer of paint dry completely before starting with next layer of paint, As you can see i have painted the top of the bottle with different colour but it's your wish you can paint with as many shades you want.

After i am done with all layers of base paint, i sticked different foam stickers(got stickers from dollar tree) making a pattern of a butterfly flying towards the flower, you can decorate it in any way you like... i did this coz i found this stickers very cute and a very fast way to decorate my bottle or vase.. Then i painted very lightly silver glue glitter with a paint brush and finally after it got dried completely i applied a layer of Gloss-lustre Mod Podge to make my all layers of paint, stickers and glitter bind perfectly with the bottle and also to get the glossy shine.

So this is how you can recycle any waste empty glass bottle or jar in your house.
Hope you like this cute vase.

Thanks for visiting.
