Welcome Sarah from The Winthrop Chronicles!
Hello Lines Across readers! I’m Sarah and I blog over at The Winthrop Chronicles. I also have a link party every Tuesday. I am a former NBC reporter and now I stay at home with my three little kiddos. They keep me pretty busy, but I try to fit crafting time in there during naptimes and after they go to bed, while my husband is writing his dissertation for his doctorate degree. We stay pretty busy, but it’s always exciting.
I’m thrilled to be a part of Rachel’s Craft Stash Bash. My husband will tell you, I have quite the craft stash. So it’s always great to go through it and clean it out a little by making something. Today I am going to share some washi tape milk bottle vases with you, I hope you enjoy!
I love picking up bottles at thrift stores, so I had myself a little collection. I also love washi tape, I just can’t have enough!
After cleaning out the bottles really well, I spray painted them white. The washi tape is really colorful and I wanted the bottles to be as uniform as possible. I figured by painting them white, the colors of the washi tape would stand out more.
After the paint dried I put the washi tape around the vases, added some fake flowers and a rossette. It was such a quick and easy project that brightens up my kitchen.
Thanks so much, and I would love to see you guys over at The Winthrop Chronicles sometime!
Thank you, Sarah, for this clever idea. I am fairly new to crafts and find your vase project one that I could easily do. I had never thought of painting old bottles. The photo of your kitchen window with the beautiful vases and flowers was especially attractive.
These are so cute! I would have a good use for some. Add milk bottles to my thrift list: check!
The vases are pretty and the photo's are FANtastic!
Love this idea. I have been spray painting my old vases for years, but I never thought to paint them white! It looks so clean and I love the idea of adding washi tape!
You idea is awesome !! you are really a Genius.
