Like so many good craft ideas, this project started with an impulse buy at Target.  Seriously, if I could just make it through one trip without being distracted by the dollar section of an end cap full of stuff I really don’t need.

I was having friends over for dinner, and was, of course, running late.  Shocking, I know.  I swung by Target for a few last minute food supplies.  I wanted to grab Coke to drink, and lucky for me, it was there on the end cap – a cute little 6-pack of glass bottles.  Sold!

After drinking the tasty beverage, I couldn’t bear to throw away the bottles.  They were just too cute, and I was starting to feel a little crafty.

I began by removing the painted-on label.  This was a great job for some nail polish remover and a razor blade.  Pro tip: Do NOT stab yourself in the thumb with the edge of the razor blade.  It will hurt.  Just sayin’.

Sea Glass Painted Bottles – Tutorial

Once your bottles are clean and dry on the outside, tape off the bottles.  I chose to tape at an angle and at varying intervals, just to add some interest.

Paint on two coats of the Frost Etching Effect paint.  I just used a disposable foam brush to make clean-up easier.

After the paint has dried, gently remove the paint at an angle.

Sea Glass Painted Bottles – The Finished Product

I only painted three of the six mini Coca-Cola bottles.  They are the perfect shape and size to display some fresh Trader Joe’s flowers, don’t you think!?!
