Love coffee and creamer? Save your leftover bottles & try this!



First, removed the label & wash the container.


Then, cut off the top & cut two slots in the sides.


After that, spray paint the bottle with Krylon Looking Glass spray paint & mixed equal parts vinegar & water into a spray bottle. Immediately after spraying, apply the vinegar/water mixture & blot with a paper towel - this will add mercury glass effect.


Next, add dirt, Dollar Store gems & your plant! I allowed smaller parts of the plant to peek out.


Then, wrap twine around the grooves in the bottle & hung it up!


I love how this looks in my room & no one will believe what it originally was!

First, remove the label & wash.


Then, squeezed some leftover craft paint into the container.


This is a great way to save paint & a great way to have easy access to it when you need it!

First, remove the label & wash.


Next, add chalkboard labels & pour laundry detergent & softener into the containers.


This is a great way to lighten the load of lugging the large detergent containers to the laundry room!

First, remove the label & wash.


Next, add some painter's tape.


Then, add some spray paint!


After that, fill them with craft supplies!

First, remove the label & wash.


After that, cut a hole towards the bottom of the bottle,


Next, fold the top of the hole to create a rounded top.


Next, grab a clothespin & cut a space for it to sit into on the bottom. Hot glue in place. Add some bird seed & hang in a tree for the birds!

First, remove the label & wash.


After that, remove the lid & wrap rope around the bottle hot gluing it in place. Add some of your favorite plants & place anywhere in your home!

I hope this inspires you to upcycle your old containers into something new!
