striped bud vases


At my birthday party earlier this month one of our friends drank cider that came in cute little glass bottles. In cleaning up, I put aside three knowing that with a little DIY they would make perfect bud vases. 
I peeled off the labels and cleaned the bottles in soapy water. I then taped the designs I wanted on each bottle and used acrylic paint to achieve the graphic black and white stripes. So simple with such a great effect. One tip that I've learned from experience in working with acrylic paint - don't let it dry before removing the tape! You've got to peel it off while it's still wet.
You could paint any type of glass bottle but these are adorable for displaying beautiful mini bouquets.
