Make your own... Milk Bottles

Recycled frappuccino bottles....quite genius


Spray paint a Starbucks Frappucino bottle with white spray paint.

Print off some words in a font that you like. I printed off sprout, bloom and grow. Cut out the word in a square so it fits on the front of the bottle.

Place a small piece of carbon paper under the word and using a stylus or pencil trace over the word firmly.

Be careful if you tape the carbon paper and word to the bottle as you can peel off the paint.

Paint over the carbon traced word with any color you wish.

Spray a final coat of clear paint over the bottle. Instructions and photo from Maize Hutton.

It would be so fun to decorate a baby shower, nursery, kids party with these milk bottles. How about painting the bottles bright colors...
