I loveeeeee these cute lil ceramic bottles from Ballard designs. Isn't that beautiful?????
They are plain but thatz jus what i liked...mmmm..but....its almost $49 for a set of 5 ....mmmm.......itzzz jus completely out of my price range.
but i really wanted a few of those.....then i started thinking and realized that i could actually make the same thing myself.yeahhh...i spray painted a few glass bottles that i had ,to create somethin similar.....
let me tell u how to do it..
You will need a few glass bottles,spray paint of your choice of colour,and clear -top coat (glossy or matte).
Firstly clean the bottle well,make sure the surface is free from dirt and grease,etc.Remove the cap and the mettalic rim from the bottle.
Now give the first coat of spray paint.let it dry....i feel several thin coats of paint allowing each coat to dry for at least 10 minutes ,are better than one heavy coat.
Spray the final layer of clear top coat.(optional) ..
look at the result!!!i love them..
