How to Upcycle Starbucks Bottles

First you will need three bottles, labels removed and cleaned with hot soapy water.

Next paint each bottle with chalk paint. I use chalk paint on glass because it adheres to the glass easily. I applied two coats of paint for each bottle.

Then I stenciled USA on the bottles. U on the red, S on the white, and A on the blue bottle.

After the letters dried. I stenciled on stars using the red and blue on white, white and blue on the red, and the red and white on the blue bottle. I ended up making my own stencil using parchment paper so that it would lay flat around the curves of the bottles.

Once dry I used some watered-down antiquing gel. Wiping off any excess stain with a dry paper towel.

Instead of sanding the bottles to give them a rustic aged look I just dapped on some black paint and used a paper towel to smudge and wipe off excess.

After that I decided to use a toothbrush and splatter on a little more color.

Lastly, I used some of Waverly’s white water-based wax on my upcycle Starbucks bottles.

It gave it a white glazed tint as you can see in photo below. The one on left has the wax and the right is before I added the wax. But overall I am happy with how they turned out.

    So cute and doable too. I’d be really keen to try your painting technique on some scrap wood. I love the layers of interest the toothbrush flecks and the wiped paint give the bottles.

      Thank you Michelle! I had been saving a few of the bottles and thought this would be the perfect project to use up some. I learned the toothbrush speckles years ago. Sometimes something just needs a little something else and this does it. LOL
