I always look for ways to refresh my surroundings as a new semester approaches. One thing that I’ve noticed myself enjoying is color in my spaces at home. I love coming home to bright decor that will wake me up and keep me in high spirits. One area that I felt could use some revamping was the kitchen/living room area. My roommates and I had racked up a good amount of bottles that needed to be thrown away. Before we through them away I remembered seeing a neat craft done with empty bottles on Pinterest. It didn’t seem too hard, so I gave it a try.

What you’ll need:
Empty bottles/vases
Craft Paint
Plastic flowers
Sisal Twist Rope
*I found all the items needed at my local Dollar Tree.
- Have some old bottles or even vases that need a makeover? Wash them out and peel the sticker off.
- Get painting! I am in no way an artist or DIY pro. I used a sponge to paint all over each of my bottles. Using a sponge was a speedy process that got the job done. You can always chose to use a paint brush for a different texture.
- Let them dry!
- Add your rope. Cut off about 5-6in of the sisal twist rope and wrap it tightly around each bottle neck.
- Add your flowers and position the bottles as you want!
