Bliss Bloom Blog has painted a bottle inside and out. See what she is up to.
I’ve been wanting to try this out for a while and had a chance to experiment today. We finally have weather warm enough for the boys to have a “water day” in the backyard. I set-up a water park of sorts in our backyard to keep them busy as I played around with fabric puffy paint, glass bottles and acrylic & spray paints.
I don’t trust myself with freehanding anything, so I drew a direct design on the bottle using a dry erase marker… Love dry erase– if you don’t like it, wipe it off. If you’re like me, it takes at least 3 tries to draw a direct flower.
Now the fun part… add the puffy paint. Unless you’re a puffy paint guru, I recommend dots… Lots and lots of dots. Let dry for a couple of hours.
::Glass Bottle with Acrylic Paint::
For the clear bottle, I poured in a creamy antique acrylic paint. While I like the contrast of the acrylic paint against the white puffy paint, if I were to do it again, I’d use an oil-based or regular interior paint instead. The acrylic doesn’t adhere to glass readily and I had to constantly rotate the bottle to get complete coverage and avoid streaks. Next time I’m going to dip into one of the cans of Dunn-Edwards that we have stacked in our garage.
::Glass Bottle with Spray Paint::
I spray painted the green bottle with “Ivory Silk” in a satin finish. Very quick and straightforward.
Hmmm… I do like the flower pattern, but the rest seems a little flat. I can’t decide if I should add more white puffy paint to add more detail…. or spray paint it with a clear gloss… or just spray paint over it in a glossy white. I’m leaning toward glossy white… even though I’m trying to achieve a Fall vibe… Decisions, decisions… This is a cool project showing the reuse of glass bottle something that most of us just get rid of. Painting glass bottles inside and out,
who would have thought?
