Isn't this collection of fake milk bottles cute? Today I'm sharing how I made them from a set of glass drinking bottles, check it out:

Here is the set of drinking bottles as I found them, $6.99 at the thrift store.

I knew I wouldn't be needing the straws so I pulled them out and tucked them away in my craft stash. Unfortunately, that left the lids with big holes in the middle, but not to worry...

...I glued some large plastic pearls on top of the holes to cover them up, and then sprayed the lids in gold paint. Such an upgrade!

After that it was as easy as pouring a bit of paint into the bottles and carefully rolling them until they looked like they were full of milk. For this I used about a quarter cup of paint per bottle and left them open until dry.

Note: Sometimes the paint separates when drying and starts to look a little funny. You can either put on the lid and carefully shake the bottle, or just add a little more paint and go from there. Depending upon the quality of your paint it could work perfectly the first time or need a few touch ups 😉
