 Colorful Spring Decor, Altered Bottles 
Altered Bottles

I’m a little late on sharing my colorful spring decor, altered bottles. But better late then never. 

I made these a while back and the pictures have just been sitting on my phone waiting for me to do something with them. 

I had planned on taking them to my craft booth, but the hubby liked them and wanted to keep them. 

 Colorful Spring Decor, Altered Bottles 

I will have to walk you through the steps on how to make these colorful spring decor bottles because I can not find the actual step by step pictures. But these altered bottle are really easy to make. 

First choose your color of acrylic paint for each bottle. Squirt about two tablespoons of your chosen color in your bottle, then turn the bottle over and let the paint run down turning as it runs till you have the inside completely covered with paint. 

diy Altered Bottles  

Sit your bottle upside down on a piece of wax paper. Choose the next color and bottle and repeat till you have all bottles covered in paint sitting upside down on wax paper. 

Let sit upside down about an hour then flip Upright and clean the top rim of the bottle. Let dry another hour then flip over again upside down to finish drying.

Once dry I used black acrylic paint to add my letters to each altered bottle. If I would of thought of it I would of used puff paint on my colorful spring decor, altered bottles for the lettering.

Once the letters are dry I used jute/twine, copper wire, and beads to decorate each bottle. You could also use fabric strips or lace, that would be cute tied around the necks of each altered bottle.

    How cute! And very clever. I bet there are a lot of things that can be done for holidays. I’m going to have to bookmark this in my holiday decorating folder so I remember to come back.

      I usually seal my projects with Mod Podge, I don’t know if that would work. They sell different types, and I know one is for coaster, which get wet. But I don’t know whether it would work or not. Might try on one.

    This is really cool! I’m not big on DIY projects. My attempts almost never come out the same as what I see on Pinterest haha but I applaud those who are able to save a little money and make cool crafts like this!

    I love this awesome upcycle Linda! I never thought of painting bottles this way. I think it’s better than doing the outside.

      Thanks Florence! I do like how it looks with this technique, only problem is if you want to made vases that hold fresh flowers you wouldn’t be able to add any water.
