Easy And Creative Ways To Paint Bottles And To Turn Them Into Wonderful Decorations

Another cool technique involves creating a look similar to mercury glass and giving bottle a sort of antiqued, mirror-like finish. It’s actually really easy and the secret is using mirror spray paint. You apply it just like regular spray paint on your bottle and then leave it to dry. If you want that antique and weathered look you can use a bit of sandpaper to make the finish look less perfect in places. Everything is described on ahousefullofsunshine.

Instead of using spray paint to cover the exterior of a bottle, you could try a different technique. You could take some acrylic paint and pour it into the bottle, then slowly swirl and move it around until the whole interior of the bottle is coated in paint. Place the bottle upside down so the excess paint drains away if needed. This is a really idea if you have some cool-looking or old bottles that you plan to use as decorations.
