Howdy Friends! Recycle or “Upcycle”projects are my favorites. I enjoy the challenge of taking trash and transforming it into something pretty and useful.

I started off with an Apple Juice Bottle. The first thing I did was to remove the labels (a good soak in some warm water does the trick). Other supplies: masking tape, Design Masters “Tint It” paint in Mango, green multi-surface craft paint (I used DecoArt in Grass), an X-Acto Knife, green twine and hot glue.

    1. Thanks Carol and you are right… the little ones are adorable and there are TONS of cool things that could be made with them!

  1. Great idea. I always loved these bottles and wondered what I could do with them once they were empty, now I have some inspiration. LOVE it!!!
