Upcycled Bottle Into Fourth Of July Vase
Isn't it wonderful when we can turn something old into a beautiful new creation? Transforming an upcycled bottle into a Fourth of July vase is not only a fun DIY project but also a great way to celebrate the holiday with a touch of creativity. You can paint the bottle in red, white, and blue colors, add some stars or stripes for a patriotic flair, and voilà - you have a unique centerpiece ready to brighten up your Independence Day festivities! Upcycling at its finest - helping the environment while adding a festive touch to your home decor.
Materials Needed:
Upcycled Bottle
First clean and dry your bottle,
then add two coats of antique white chalk paint, letting each coat dry throughly. I find that chalk paint sticks better to glass then acrylic’s.
Painted the top 1/3 part of your bottle with Midnight blue acrylic. Add two coat, drying throughly between coats.
Now add your red stripes, two coats drying throughly between coats.
Use antiquing gel to age your bottle. While that’s drying paint your wood stars with white. Let dry then add another coat.
Lightly sand your bottle, then seal with Mod Podge.
Glue your wood stars in place. Saving two of the stars, drill a hole in each then connect a star to each end of your wire.
Using the end of your paintbrush wrap the wire behind your stars a couple times around the paintbrush.
Then wrap the wire around the neck of your bottle and give it a twist to hold it in place.
The two stars will stick out a little off of your upcycled bottle.
Add your flowers and that’s it.
