These bottles look great painted on the inside! Very easy, takes some time because it is done in steps, but very easy! And I love how shiny they are on the outside!
I started out with two vases and an old bottle I paid a few dollars for at a thrift store (where else?)…
I used some left over paint I had (it is regular wall paint) and just poured it in. I kept moving the bottle to distribute the paint as evenly as possible. When the inside is all covered, I sat them upside down to let the extra paint drain out (the first one I didn’t do that step and it took a week to dry!).
Repeat as you desire!
I put mine in the window to let them dry, still took several days, but well worth the wait!
It was so pretty today I painted everything that I had been waiting for a pretty day for…if it held still, I painted it!
I am linking to these great parties!

But can you put anything in them then?
Turned out great - thanks for sharing at our Link It Up Thursday party today.
Cool project, I like the look of the paint on the inside of the glass, and thanks for linking to cowgirl up.
You did a beautiful job. I discovered you on Artsy Girl Linky Party and I’m now a follower; I would appreciate you following me back.

So smart to paint the inside... I tried the outside once and well that is why I only did it once:(
Very cool! Hubby just unearthed a bunch of old bottles in a nearby field and brought them home. Now I know what I'm going to do with some of them. Thanks for the inspiration!
I really need to try this. I have so many bottles I collect because I love the shape. These turned out great! Thanks for sharing at this week's BFF Open House.
What a great way to use up the paint that I keep but never use. I am so doing this. Thanks for sharing at Terrific Tuesdays.

These are so pretty. I've been looking for some very pale glass accents but hadn't found the right color. Don't know why I hadn't thought about this! Thanks for linking up to Share the Love Wednesday at Very Merry Vintage Style!
