The holidays are quickly approaching and my favorite thing to do (besides eat) is decorate my table for Thanksgiving with my whole family! I am sick or ruining my beautiful table scape with Costco sized condiment bottles. So this year, I came up with this holiday hack you can't decorate without!
Yeah, look at that big ol' thing. Nothing pairs well with a giant ketchup bottle.
First, I pulled out an empty juice bottle from my recycle bin. After thoroughly washing it, I removed the cap.
I grabbed a tea light and carefully melted the middle of the lid over the flame. Be careful at this step, with your fingers this close to the flame it gets a little tosty. Also, depending on the plastic of your cap, it takes no time at all to melt.
Once the cap was just starting to melt, I took a kabob skewer and pushed a hole through the middle of the cap. By twisting the skewer I created a spout-like shape while the plastic was still warm. Please note, the plastic cools quickly so this step must happen fast.
I decided to decorate my bottle with a little washi tape that coordinated with my table. This step is optional but I think adds a nice touch.
I simply transfered the Costco ketchup into my cute bottle and placed the cap back on.
Now, you are left with an understated bottle that can be reused for all the holidays. Good bye eye sore, hello up-cycle! Not to mention, these look super cute lined up in your fridge. ;)
I also decided to try this project with salad dressing and punctured a larger hole in the top to let the dressing flow more smoothly. This could be a great idea if you celebrate the holidays eating buffet style. Happy Holidays Everyone!
