Ways to reuse... glass bottles!


How to turn a glass bottle into a vase.

Start with a bottle, peel off the label and rinse it out.
Let it dry completely.


Add some craft paint to the bottles.
I chose pink and teal.



Once you added the paint, move the bottle around until it is completely covered.

Turn the bottle upside down to empty all extra paint.

Wait for the paint to dry completely.

Add your favorite flowers.
Now you have a beautiful vase!



*You can also make a candle holder by
adding sand and a taper candle.*

Ways to reuse... soup cans!

How to turn a soup can into a candle holder.

First, use any size tin can.
Eat contents.

Peel off the label and rinse out the can.

Fill can with water and freeze for at least 8 hours.
Draw on a design.
Use a nail and hammer to punch holes around the design.


Paint the can and allow it to dry completely.
(Optional) Once dried tape off a section in the middle.

Paint the middle a different color.
Allow the paint to fully dry.

Once the paint is fully dry carefully peel off the tape.

Add a candle, and ta-da! A beautiful outdoor candle.
(You can add sand to the bottom to weigh the can down.)
