I wanted to share a little recycling project I did a few weeks back. One of my favorite types of coffee drinks are the Starbucks Frappachino that come in the little glass bottles. I always save the bottles and the container they come in because I figured there must be something crafty I can do with them.
Well lo and behold, two projects came to mind.
For the first one, I took the bottles and cleaned them out really well and removed the stickers from the front and back of the bottles. Then I took the caps and spray painted them white. Added a few decorations and viola...
Instant (well sort of instant with a little work) Valentine Teacher gifts. They were a hit with all my son's teachers.
The second project was to make something from the carrier that the bottles come in. So I took some gesso and covered the entire thing.
Then I covered it in different types of cardstock paper and added embellishments to make....a craft caddy to hold all my markers, pens and important crafting tools.
This one I did in an English/British theme.
And this one in a pink and girly theme.
I love how both of them turned out. So before you throw out those bottles and boxes, give them a new purpose.
Thanks for stopping by!!
