Cheap Designing with Glass Bottles


Alright here is the first tip/activity to do anything better and it's on decorating or designing.  Ever wonder what to do with glass bottles besides throwing them in the trash?  Well I have found a cute and creative way to make use of them in your home!  Here's how to do it:


1.  Take any labels off of clear glass bottles and rinse and clean.
2.  Pic out some of your favorite colors of basic paint (I get my bottled paint from Hobby Lobby) and squirt a few squirts of paint into the bottle.
3.  Next you'll poor a small bit of water into the bottle to mix with the paint (remember if the paint is too liquidy then it'll just run in the bottle and it wont work correctly so poor about a tablespoon at first).
4.  Now you'll cover the top of the bottle with your hand and shake it up, making the inside of the bottle covered in your favorite color.  Perfect! Now let it try
5.  For the finishing touch buy some cute, inexpensive plastic flowers like daisies and place one or more in each of your colored bottles and place on display!

What a way to design without burning holes in your pocket.  Say tuned for more designing ideas and ways to look polished without spending hundreds of dollars.
