Some may say (and when
I say some I mean Simon) that I am a hoarder, that is incorrect I just have a
lot of things with sentimental value.
I like to keep things because they remind me of a certain point or person
in my life that made me happy. One of these objects I like to keep are bottles;
we have 5 in total and they all remind me of a special time from me and Simons
first valentines day to the London Olympics’ 2012 themed coke bottles.
Until now they have
sat on top of our bookshelf doing nothing and catching dust. This is until I
saw this blog post from I SPY DIY it really inspired me to make our bottles a feature instead of a
dust catcher.
These are the things
you will need for the craft:
Bottles (how ever many
you wish)
Spray Paint
Flowers (I went for
fake flowers as I am not great at keeping flowers alive)
Fake flowers, very pretty colours.
Sentimental bottles not hoarding!
How:
1. This is a very easy
craft to achieve; the first step is to make sure the bottles are clean on the
inside and out. You have to scrub the labels off from the outside and make sure
there is nothing left, as this will show once you have spray painted it.
2. Once the bottles
are dry it is time to spray paint. Make sure that you do this section outside
and that there is nothing around you that you could possibly get paint on. Hold
the bottle at one end at arms length and spray the other end.
3. Let this dry for a
couple of hours. Once it is dry you can hold the end you have just painted and
spray the other end, doing it this way makes sure you don’t get any
fingerprints on your hard work. When spray painting the open end of the bottle
spray a little just inside the bottle so the inside can get a light coating.
4. Repeat these steps
until you are happy with the coating of the bottle.
Spray painting in the garden
Then ta-da it’s done,
a quick and simple craft that can make a dust catching bottle a feature of the
room.
I hope you enjoy
trying out this craft as mush as I did.
