Have you ever wondered what to do with those empty glass bottles lying around?
Some simple DIY projects transform old, discarded glass bottles into beautiful and useful items.
It's something everyone can try!
Glass Bottle Flower Vases
Recoloring for a Fresh Look:
1. Collect empty bottles and remove the labels. Clean them thoroughly.
2. Use a syringe to inject acrylic paint into the bottle, ensuring an even coat on the inside walls.
3. Shake the bottle to spread the paint evenly, and then let it dry in a cool, ventilated place.
4. Once the acrylic paint is dry, you'll have a stunning vase ready for flower arrangements.
Tips:
Ensure the paint isn't too thin to avoid uneven drying.
If using acrylic paint, be mindful not to use too much water to prevent color unevenness.
Glass Glazed Bottles for Bathroom Storage
Crafting Your Bathroom Storage Bottles:
1. Cut a wire mesh slightly smaller than the bottle's mouth, creating 9 or 6 spaces, and attach it to the jar using tape or by buckling it.
2. Organize toothbrushes, cotton swabs, or flowers directly into the bottle's compartments.
3. Drill a hole in the lid of the glass jar, sized for a squeeze tube.
4. Attach the squeeze pump, and then you have a functional and beautiful storage bottle.
5. Add a personal touch by painting the outer wall of the bottle with your favorite colors.
Wall-Mounted Glass Bottle Vases
Hanging Vases for a Decorative Touch:
1. Prepare a wooden board, paint, cleaned bottles, and iron rings.
2. Paint the board in your desired color and fix the iron ring to it.
3. Secure the bottles on the iron ring, ensuring a tight fit.
4. Mount the board on the wall, and you're ready to enjoy a green feeling with hydroponic flowers in hanging glass vases.
Glass Bottle Chandelier
A Dazzling DIY Lighting Fixture:

2. Open a hole in the bottle's lid to fit the lamp head.
3. Assemble the wired bottles, connect them to the back plate, and install a non-heating LED bulb.
4. Hang your DIY chandelier in a bedroom, dining room, or living room for a stunning, custom lighting experience.
