Upcycled Bottles Into a Charming Centerpiece!

Easy
These bottles have been lying around for way too long! It was time to dress them up into something special. This project was extremely easy and I love the way it turned out.
I collected a bunch of my old bottles, purposely choosing a variety of different shapes and sizes.
I started by soaking them in warm soapy water to easily remove the labels. I let them sit for about an hour.
Once they were done soaking, the labels came off in the snap of a finger!
I wanted to create a centerpiece that I'd be able to use over and over again. So what better choice of shade to use than - white! Spray paint time!
I covered the bottles in about two coats of white spray paint (waiting about 10 minutes in between the coats). I definitely missed a few spots a long the way, but easily fixed it by spraying the spot I missed and then evening it out with another, very light coat.
I decided to decorate my spray painted bottles (which were not completely dry on the bottom yet, so they're sitting on some tissue paper), with some string and small plastic bead leaves. I wrapped them around the bottles where I thought they looked best. I have yet to fill the bottles with flowers! You can also go for a rustic look with some branches or leaves. The greatest part about this centerpiece is that you can easily change the look of it and dress it up or down for any occasion!

I was planning on doing the same thing with some Orangina and old Mateus bottles (Idk where they came from, lol!)
Thanks for the reminder!
