Frappucchino bottles

Today we got to see Santa. Since my hands weren't well enough I couldn't do my projects but got everything to work on them as soon as I can.



I had about 120 empty frappucchino bottles to give away but only got rid off 48 as the other ladies didn't know what they could do with them so I decided to post what I have done and a couple that were gifts. Maybe I can get people interested in these bottles otherwise they'll be going to the recycle :0)

This was the first time I have seen using this idea. Liz had a Stampin' Up  Retreat which I join just the last day. This was one of the projects

This one was a gift for the baby shower of a cousin-in-law


These two were gift. Candee had been the recipient of my bottles and she did these for a Christmas Bazaar

            

This one was for St Patrick's day, I know I should had taken pictures when they were full of candy or cookies :0) I got the hats at JoAnn Fabrics


For this Easter one  I bought the little box of eggs at JoAnn's it came with assortment of colored eggs so I gave my friends their favorite color and it was full of cookies, The egg is glued to moss


This one for 4th of July were used as a party favor. The hats are from Hobby Lobby and the ribbon from Michaels



These two were different years for Halloween. The mason jar is a die by either SU or Spellbinders

     

This one was for Día de Reyes or Epiphany. The embossing folder is by Cuttlebug

          

This one I was just playing around and wrapped twine around it. Thought it would make a nice manly gift


Last but not least since I had too many bottles when I redid my craft room I decided to use some as organizing containers. I label on top, the circle punched was with color (mostly the color of what was in)  and then I printed what was in and punched out with scallop circle this way I don't have to get the bottle out of the box to see what's inside. Also I label on the bottle itself with company's name and product with ID # so I know what to put on my recipe :0) It works great for candy dots, flower soft, paper flowers and any other embellishment. I love the fact they're clear and all the same color :0)

               
 



                
 

I also made one for my used blades. Since you can't just drop your dull blade on the garbage I decided to just keep in here and when it gets full I can safely dispose of the blades without problem that someone might cut themselves :0) 

      

I have done others but didn't keep a photo :0) normally these bottles are gifts specially as Thank you for my sister & Brother-in-law and just because for Bret
