DIY: Dying glass bottles

This is kinda the same as the candy corn bottles I posted.
I did these a little different. I wanted that clear color look.
The BOO letters I just wrote in permanent marker.

What you'll need:

• Clean glass bottles ( I used leftover spaghetti sauce bottles)
• Food coloring ( i did orange, purple and green for Halloween)
• elmers glue
• water
• colored twine

What to do: 

Clean the bottles and remove stickers, dirt and oil from them. 

Next, I put the glue and a little bit of water in a leftover baby jar. Its easier to mix the color. 

Put about 2-3 drops of food coloring in the glue and mix. 

Use a foam brush and brush in nice clean strokes. I only did one layer and it turned out fine. Make sure you get every inch, with no brush strokes. It is a little hard if you cannot get any brush strokes to go away that's fine. They'll usually go away when it dries. 

Let them dry overnight and tada!!! cute bottles to decorate. I added color twine to mine and it turned out way cute.

I found out that if you didn't want that color or you messed up you can wash off the color and start over. So when you finish the ones you like make sure you don't get them wet. 

DIY: Candy corn bottles

Found these on pinterest... ya again. They turned out so cute, I love them. I added the burlap ribbon and it added more cuteness.  I used a wine bottle and some other random ones I found. I made sure that they were different sizes.
To clean the bottles and to get the stickers off and the sticky stuff off. I have a tutorial on how to get that off.
What you'll need:

• 3 different size glass bottles
• Spray paint; yellow, white, and orange. 

What to do:

Make sure the bottles are clean and free from dirt and oil.

First spray the whole bottle white. Put 2 layers on. 

Next, when that is dry spray the orange on in the middle. Do 2 layers.

Last Spray the yellow on the bottom. 

This is a good time to make them all even. If you need to fix one spray very carefully and slowly.

Finished product. 

So cute right!!!

DIY: Removing stickers from bottles

This tutorial is to get rid of the labels and sticky stuff under the labels on bottles.

What you'll need:

• Baking soda
• vinegar
• oil
• hot water

What to do:

First fill your sink with hot water and add baking soda and vinegar. I didnt really measure I just poured it. Place bottles in water mixture till covered in the water. This removes the labels.

Now get some baking soda pour some in a bowl and add oil to it. Mix it till it becomes a paste. This removes the sticky stuff. Rub the mixture all over the bottles and use a scrubby pad to remove the sticky stuff. This takes time so be patient. 

After you get it all nice and not sticky wipe it down and remove extra oil. 

Protein shake recipes
