There is nothing better than going in your backyard with $2 glass bottles and in 30 minutes staring at beautiful faux milk glass for your home. That is the kinda stuff I live for. Let’s be real not everyone can afford to really make a FULL centerpiece with “real” milk glass. Thankfully I collect it but I am surely not putting in out on my table to get knocked over. Recently I did a tutorial on puffy paint vases so that is what we will use as our base for this tutorial.

I am in love with these bottles and I can’t wait to make so many more. Just think how gorgeous these will look for different holidays. You can do red ones for Christmas, brown ones for Thanksgiving and orange or black ones for Halloween. Did I mention these are so fun for kids? Ok let’s get started.

Remember these Neon Puffy Paint bottles that I made this week? You will have to do this first before we turn them into “Milk Glass”. Get the full tutorial HERE.

All you need to do is spray paint the bottles with about 3-4 coats. Don’t try to coat the bottle right off the bat. Spray thin coats and I promise eventually it will be opaque. If you try to make it opaque in the first layer it will start dripping. (trust me, haha)

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Stay tuned for some other fun crafts this coming week!

How would you display these?

When I think of LOVE I imagine everything white, fluffy and full of Christmas lights. Whuhh? You don’t think that’s love? FINE, LOVE is fried chicken, cozy pj’s and a ice cold coca cola. Better! (teeeheee)

Seriously yesterday morning I woke up around 3am because this cough decided it wanted to get up and drink coffee, craft and watch tv. I can’t get rid of this darn cough y’all. If you have any home remedies please leave me a comment cause I need something that’s gonna work. So, I am up aimlessly walking around trying to figure out what I could do. I really didn’t care as long as it had to do with an upward position. It seems the “cough” only likes to act nice when I am not laying down.
I went to my studio and the first thing I saw was puffy paint. YES! I had some bottles soaking in water for another craft I was going to do but who cares, I just grabbed them.

Off to crafting I went. 6 am I was done with craft and already shot pictures. Wahooo let’s get started on these puffy paint vases.

Are you flipping out. Cause I am. I think I am a little 7 year old inside because anything that is bright still makes me super giddy all inside.

(the ones I used were sparkling water)

Soak your bottles in ice cold water. I don’t know why but this makes the paper come right off. I usually put them in the water for about 2 hours.

See! It just peels off. I don’t put anything in the water btw.

Look how purdy! You would never know these once were just sparkling water bottles.

Choose your puffy paint colors and start puffing. (teehehe)
All you need to do is put dot’s in any pattern that you want. I just winged it and put dot’s down. I mean dont’ get me wrong, I had an idea of what I wanted before I started but I didn’t use a template.

How stinking cute are these. I kid you not, they were dry in 1 hour. Perfect last minute gift, right!

I hope you have a great Saturday and you enjoy puffing your paint. See ya in the next post Jaderbugs!

I don’t know about you but bottles make me happy. I am so excited to show you these super cute bottles from the company I am working with. Everyone knows the saying “Keep Calm and Carry On” right! Well wait till you check out this particular bottle from The YaYa Club’s Etsy Store.

The one thing that makes these bottle unique is the fact that they come with a cork candle. Whuhhhh! I know, I thought the same darn thing. You can however purchase the antique toppers in our Etsy store so make sure to check it all out!

Did I mention when you turn the bottle around it say’s

“Now Panic and Freak Out”

I am so in love with this I can’t hardly stand it!

Congrats! I am super stoked about announcing the winner of the Craft Attitude giveaway.

Glenda I hope you are jumping for joy! You are the WINNER.
(Please check your email, I don’t have your last name)

I always love entering giveaway’s. Do you ever enter and as you are putting all of your information in you tell yourself “you are totally not winning this, look how many entries are already in”… I try not to do that but I do. Booo! It just feels like that lottery ticket that you buy, right. For a split minute you can feel the feeling you “would” feel if you actually won then that little thing called reality sets in. How can you overcome this?

Well when you “FEEL” that feeling of winning you have to keep it alive. Every second you think you have no chances of winning you immediately change your thought process and go back to that feeling of winning. It’s better for you anyway!

I think what it comes down to is always thinking Positive. Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive when we have so much to worry about. Let’s face it, there will always be something to bring us down. It’s just how things roll. Things used to bring me down years ago and I would let them just eat at my soul. You know how that works right! Something pops up out of nowhere and BOOM, instant depression. I am pretty sure when you let something negative live in you for too long you can get a small case of the “hates”. We don’t want that! How did I overcome all of this? I just changed my thought process. I try my best to not look at anything as negative or “meant” to happen. If something pops up in my life like a bag of burnt popcorn I just throw the burnt pieces out and eat the ones that are good! It’s that simple.

I know, I know you are wondering if I ever let anything get to me. The answer is of course I do. I am human y’all! It’s actually good to feel bad every now and then but only for a few seconds.

Is your bag of popcorn all burnt? Wanna learn how to bring that butter corn puffs back to life and see rainbows in your dreams? Check out the SECRET website. This should help you for sure! I play this game every single day and you should too! I hope I made you smile a litte today. See you in the next post!

What do you do when negative things pop up in your life?
