 SUPPLIES NEEDED

• glass bottles or jars
• pot scraper or razor blade
• assorted Rust-oleum spray paint – The three colors I used are white, candy pink, and coral
• painters tape or masking tape
• paper towels

HOW TO MAKE A GLASS BOTTLE UPCYCLE BUD VASE

1. Soak bottles/jars in warm soapy water to remove labels. If any residue remains use a razor blade or pot scraper to remove it.

2. Rinse jars and let dry.

3. Apply tape around the bottles, leaving some of the glass exposed.

4. Stuff paper towels in to the opening of each jar to prevent paint getting inside.

5. Paint bottles in assorted colors. Be sure to do it outside so you have plenty of ventilation.

6. Let paint dry then remove tape.

7. Enjoy your flowers!

These inexpensive vases would be a fun project to do with the kids and use supplies you likely already have on hand.
