Beer bottle vases

Why go out an buy a vase when you can turn a used beer bottle into one? Okay, so It's probably not for everyone but I love the idea.

There are so many different ways you can paint and decorate a bottle, but these two are super easy.

First off..if you're going to paint a bottle make sure you clean it and remove the labels. If you're wrapping it with yarn, the labels don't really matter.

The first one I spray painted a Budweiser bottle.pretty simple. I used a brand called touch n tone. Worked great. I haven't found a spray paint that doesn't, so any brand should do. I added a piece of flowery lace around the neck to make it look more girly

The next one (a Smirnoff bottle) I wrapped in yarn and the face is made from felt.

I only glue the yarn at the top and the bottom, because it would take all day to glue every strand down..and it's just not necessary. I did the best I could on the face. I'm definitely not an artist :).
