Repurposed Bottle - Let's Paint It GOLD...

Easy
The other day I was rinsing this empty Midori bottle to put out in the recycling...
And as I was washing it,
thought - YOU really ARE quite a BEAUTIFUL bottle!
And that's when I decided to repurpose this BEAUTIFUL bottle into a vase!


With the idea of painting the untextured glass top GOLD.


So off came the labels...


and all that icky sticky glue residue.


(Jiff cleaner is fabulous for this task.)
Once dry, masked and newspapered as shown...
And the first of two coats of gold paint applied.


It was then left to dry overnight.
Remove the masking tape and newspaper.
And now you have a wonderful repurposed bottle vase.


Perfect for that single stem of flowers to add a little height to your table vignette.

    Love this idea with its two toned which really accentuates the texture of the glass. Works perfectly with your other items which bring in both glass and gold. I would never have thought of it. Thanks for posting. Its going in my Idea book.
