Upcycle Those Patron Bottles!

by Brittanie Pyper

I love nerdy things and lately I’ve been really into Batman. The new game was just released last week and my husband has been playing it (I’ve played a little but really love to watch). So of course, I have BAT BRAIN. Yep it’s a thing (not really, but it’s pretty cool to say). So this weekend when my crafting side started itching, I came up with this DIY “Batrón” Upcycled Patrón Bottle Craft! If you ask me, I think it’s pretty BAT-RILLIANT!

upcycled patron bottles, crafts, how to, repurposing upcycling

Okay so you already know how I feel about this, but what exactly do others think? Here are some reviews on Batrón from some well-known villains and friends of Batman…

Note: each and every one of these reviews are authentic! I interviewed them myself so they are LEGIT. 😉

So now that you know this stuff is amazing (and by stuff I really mean the bottle) you may be wondering how you can make one of these yourself. Guess what? I have an entire tutorial for you! So stick around my batty friends!

Supplies Needed to Make a “Batron” Upcycled Patrón Bottle:

Empty Patrón Bottle

Black Cardstock

Hot Glue Gun

Black Spray Paint (I used a glossy finish)

Clear Gel Tacky Glue

Licorice Enamels Gloss Finish Acrylic Paint (has to be dishwasher safe for it to work)

Silhouette Machine

Black Permanent Vinyl

Yellow Permanent Vinyl

Scissors

Piece of Cardboard

Knife

How to Make a “Batrón” Upcycled Patrón Bottle:

Obtain an empty Patrón bottle. Either drink all the Patrón or put the tequila into another container.

Thoroughly clean the inside of the bottle with soap and warm water. Hang upside down to dry.

Spray paint the cork with the spray paint. It may take several coats but allow each coat to dry before applying more paint.

While the cork is drying, you can begin working on other details. The first is to print, trace, and cut out the bat symbol in both cardstock and in the cardboard. You want them both the same size.

Spray the cardboard with the spray paint and allow to dry.

Once the cardboard piece is dry, glue the black cardstock bat symbol onto the cardboard using your clear tacky glue. Set aside to dry.

It’s now time to paint the inside of your Patrón bottle. The easiest way to do it is by pouring the black enamel paint into the bottle. Then gently swirl it around until all the paint has covered the entire inside of the bottle.

Once the bottle is entirely coated on the inside with paint, hang it upside down in a large cup and allow it to drip dry. This step will take several hours so I suggest completing the rest of the steps in the meantime.
