Turn boring glass bottles into vintage-looking masterpieces perfect for your holiday table with this super easy and fun painting technique. We'll customize colors and make our grocery-store kombucha bottles look like the came out of the sand at Dead Horse Bay. As an added bonus, we can also etch one of our glass pieces for a frosted effect. This is a super fun and simple process that gives great results!
I'll have four lovely bud vases for everyone, but this is definitely a craft made for upcylcing, so feel free to bring along one ore two more clean, small glass jars. Examples include: individual cocktail bottles, old perfume bottles, hot sauce bottles, mason jars, vinegar bottles, jam jars, wine bottles and more! Bottles with patterns/ridges look best for this technique, like those pictured above. If you don't have any, please don't worry, there will be plenty on hand!
