Glass Bottle and Tin Can Repurpose
Tin Cans & Tequila Bottles
~Repurposing and Reusing~
{shabby style!}
After I got drunk the other night…
Just Kidding!!
hehehe
Actually, I have been saving a bag full of tins cans for months now and I knew I needed to get my tail in gear and actually
DO something with them.
My big kick in the pants was seeing this gorgeous photo on facebook. I really liked it and wanted to try to make something similar for myself!
So, I raided my jewelry drawer of all the
sparkly stuff I love,
but let’s face it… never wear,
grabbed my trusting glue gun,
some scrap ribbon and got busy!
Sparkly stuff like this ponytail/pin.
I have never worn this.
Not one single time.
I used my needle nose pliers
and yanked that stuff right off!
I added a little teal craft paint to some white chalk paint to get the aqua shade I was lusting after 
Grabbed my trusty Purdy paint brush and slipped some on my can and bottle, then worked on a little something else while they dried.
Grabbed my trusty Purdy paint brush and slipped some on my can and bottle, then worked on a little something else while they dried.When they were good and dry, I used a little steal wool to distress them. I like the silver showing through the paint on the can a lot!
I bought this last Fall at Good Will.
I didn’t even realize it was a tequila bottle until I got home. Then I felt a little funny paying a $1.50 for it, but, it’s a cool shape! I never used it for that idea I had, so it’s been sitting around pretty lonely since then!
I think it looks much prettier now.
I already enjoy the sparkle lots more on this bottle,
then I ever did in my jewelry drawer!
The Jasmine is blooming, along with the Roses…
A little ribbon scrap was all that I needed for a simple embellishment. A few twists, and I had a rose for an accent.
These tiny pink roses are so fragrant… just the two blooms were enough to perfume the air while I took these photographs.
This craft cost me;
$1.50 for the bottle, one piece of old jewelry, ribbon scrap and a tiny bit of paint.
That fits my criteria of “Cheap&Easy” perfectly.
This Pineapple Mint is the best
smelling stuff ever… and, the deer do not eat it.
I have a few and when the breeze picks it up the backyard smells like heaven!
So, I have got one can painted.
… with about 25 more to go!
I think I better find another craft…
I hope you liked my silly glass bottle and tin can repurpose.
I had fun sharing it with you.

They turned out beautifully, Shannon! I love that blue!
Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine……
This is a real trash to treasure.
~Bliss~
Such a pretty project! Love the color and the bling!
Now I’ve got that PeeWee Herman Tequila song in my head!!
Since my summer cocktail of choice is my fabulous margarita – I’ll have to save my tequila bottles so I can be just as blinged out as you!
Never heard of pineapple mint – think it would be good in my mojitos?

I love the idea of the brooch on a bottle – sweet!!
FABulous idea, Shannon! You are always up to somethingn so fun and creative … LOVE it! Keep on drinking so you can make some more. LOL
Oh! I olive them!!! I want them!!!
Looks great! Such a pretty color! What a great idea!
Great way to recycle.
Love the paint colour.
I love this! I will be making these soon for sure.
Angela
Beautiful! Aren’t bottles fun to work with? I am going to have to plant some pineapple mint. Sounds like a delicious smell
Gorgeous! now I have a great idea for those bottles I’ve been collecting. Pinning these!
Oh girl, I love these! As I type this, I have a jar drying that I just painted. How funny is that? You painted the outside of the bottle though? I love that flower that you made too. Let me tell you, yours came out even better than the originals! I have to pin these…love!
Who would have ever thought a tin can could be so beautiful. I love these! Thanks for sharing
I think I need to try this…as soon as my tequila bottle is empty!
Who would have thought a tin can and a tequila bottle could be so elegant! Love it!
Oh my goodness that is just the cutest idea EVER!!! I have so much sparkly stuff in my jewelry box that I never wear…can’t wait to
re-purpose to something like these little beauties!!!
These are so pretty! I love the color and the sparkle!
I love them! What a great idea! Love the color you painted them too! I’m pinning this too!
I actually like your version much better than your inspiration!

Holy Cheap Amazing Cute Smart Craft- you need to get drunk more often
I LOVE that shape of the bottle and the roses, pineapple mint, everything you have hanging out looks so very pretty! Great job!!
What a great idea Shannon! The color and jewels are perfection! Xo
Super charming Shannon~ love it! I have been saving some tin cans for something fun too- love the color of that paint! Gorgeous!
Love the cans and the bottle! They are beautiful, can’t wait to make some! HUGS!
These really are the perfect upcycles. Now I need to go get drunk.
google +ed and pinned. 
love love love that color blue! So pretty!
Beautiful recycling!! The color is perfect!! I’m on my last night of vacation

So cute, and I think one of my Hydrangeas would look fabulous in either one of these cute little containers….if you ever get tired of them and want to send them on to me…..I love the idea of using all the little sparkly knicky knacks you had on hand. I should go raid my kid’s bathroom. There has got to be some of those hair bands in there that they will never miss……
I had to pin everyone of these!!! I love them. Everything you do turns out beautiful.
These turned out so pretty! Thanks for sharing.
I love these.
what beautiful accents, love the color and the way you distressed them, they look lovely, the fabric roses are beautiful too!
These are BEAUTIFUL! I’m pinning them!
What great transformations! Don’t feel bad about paying $1.50 for the bottle…I paid $2 for one at an auction. From the distance I was at it looked like a nice decanter. Oh well…now I can make it beautiful like yours! Pinning it.
Ummm… hello, I love this project! Great job, Shannon.
xoxo
Shannon, these are beautiful and this is a beautiful post! I really enjoyed it and now I want to paint some bottles and cans!
Ann
Hmm, this is teaching me that maybe it’s time I started trying tequila, since the bottles are so stinkin’ cute:)

Oh gosh, Shannon! These are just GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for sharing how you got that fabulous effect. I saw your post over at “Tutes and Tips” link party.
I enjoyed these SO much that I had to pin them on TWO of my boards!
So pretty! Really, really pretty! Love the color of course!
Very pretty! Love the color of blue that you picked. Really like how you added the rustic look by sanding some of the paint off so the metal and glass show through. I have been saving cans to for crafts. Think I will just have to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.
Oh I love them. Such a great idea and the color is wonderful. Love the sparkle too. The flowers make such a pretty vignette. Thanks for joining TTT. I am happy to be a follower of yours now too. Hugs, Marty

Guess who got the most pageviews at the party this week??? You girl!!! Thanks so much for partying with us!
I would love to know what color that is (what colors you used to mix it or if it was one color)
I just love your website!!!! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful projects, ideas, comments with us.
Beautiful! I have tons of cans and tequila bottles…I knew they would be good to keep! One question…I can’t find white chalk paint? Thanks for sharing!
Me too. Loads of cans. I just love crafting with them!! I have a true white, Magnolia, available in the Maison Blanche La Craie line, if you need some, let me know!
Love how the bottles turned out would really love to make some for our house. Love the colour you chose to do them.
what a fantastic recycling idea; I just love how they turned out. I can’t wait to try some of these and I’m pretty sure I’ve got some of those sparkly ‘never worn’ barretts too.
Hugs
Deborah
Perfect then! Yep, that is the most use that hair bauble ever got!!
