Milky Bottle

As I mentioned the other day, I have a thing for bottles recently.  I prepped a bunch of them to  be able to work with them and I just finished my first experiment!

I've been wanting to paint a bottle from the inside for quite some time.  I saw the idea when I was wedding planning a couple of years ago and I just tucked it away.  Yesterday I finally gave it a whirl!

I took the vinegar bottle from the other day and got to work.  

I put a little water in the bottom of the bottle to thin out the paint.  Turns out it ended up being a bit too much and so I had to dump a good portion of it out half way through.  

I grabbed a can of wall paint (my paint of preference simply because I can be cheap) and....  

...A Starbucks' straw...

....and got to work!  

I dipped the straw into the paint, filling it with paint, and then released it into the bottle (a trick I learned as a little girl who liked to play with her straw and soda).  

Of course it was a little messy, because it is me.  

I had to wipe down the outside of the paint dripped bottle. 

There were a few spots where paint was not covering the bottle.

So I flipped it upside down and let it sit for a couple hours while I went out to dinner with my mom and sister.  

And it worked!  The entire bottle was then covered with paint.  

It reminds me of milk bottle glass which is a favorite of mine.

I'm glad I figured out the process and now I'll be repeating it a few times with some other bottles and colors!
