Repurposed Bottle - Let's Paint It GOLD...

Upcycled Glass Bottle
 The other day I was rinsing this empty Midori bottle to put out in the recycling...
And as I was washing it, 
thought - YOU really ARE quite a BEAUTIFUL bottle!
 And that's when I decided to repurpose this BEAUTIFUL bottle into a vase!
With the idea of painting the untextured glass top GOLD.
So off came the labels...
and all that icky sticky glue residue.
(Jiff cleaner is fabulous for this task.)
You can of course use any textured with plain glass bottle for this project.

 It was placed in a sunny spot to dry thoroughly.

 The textured glass was masked off like this...

The first of two coats of gold paint was applied.
 I used White Knight 'Super Gold paint'.
(Available at Bunnings in New Zealand).
But if gold is not your colour, you can use spray paint in a colour that suits your personal decor.

 So after two coats and being left to dry overnight, the masking tape was removed...

 To reveal a nice crisp line between the now smooth gold and textured glass.

I'm currently adding metallic accents in gold to the red sitting room,
and I LOVE how this accentuates the gold detail in the glaze on the vintage glass dish and on the DIY-painted gold frames.
