Today I had a minute to spray paint my recyclables (inspiration here) and add a few flowers from the corner bodega, and ta-da! My apartment was instantly brightened! To get the look: Grab a group of bottle (I left the labels on), take outside, and spray with a primer and paint in one, two coats, let dry and add flowers.

I've actually done something like this with old books! They look great on coffee tables and as book ends!

Oh spray paint a DIY's best companion. I love the simplicity of these, I will have to try something similar.
ReplyDeleteI love these, too! Tried them a few months ago using a spray paint without a primer--a drippy mess! Any suggestions for ones that might work better? Is there a particular brand that's best for glass?

Try the primer and spray paint in one, and spray a couple thin coats on from 6-12 inches away from the bottle

This is so awesome!! And I love how you're just using old bottles that would otherwise get recycled or thrown in the trash. Great idea!

Do you have a go to brand or type of primer and paint? Whenever I go to the craft store, the choices are overwhelming and I never know which is best to use.
ReplyDeleteYou have awesome ideas!

I used a rustoleum primer and spray paint in one, but can not seem to find it online. This should work though:

Or look for the Krylon Primer and paint in one
Such an inexpensive way to brighten your apartment. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was moving into my dorm, in August, I had tons of bottles that I painted and made as jewellery holders and vases but the paint clumped up a lot cause I was too lazy to use spray paint (which is probably easier)! However, you can clearly see the difference with the spray paint and the regular paint! I'll be moving into an apartment and I'll be coming to your blog on a regular basis for DIY projects just like this! XX

I love that you used mismatched bottles, especially ones of different heights--much more visually interesting than identical bottles!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea to brighten your apartment.
ReplyDeleteIt's super easy and the result is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI told you I did like the white ones ;) haha
Great DIY!
