Bottle Beauty

Transform everyday vessels into elegant vases by coating their interiors with glass enamel. 

Any container will do -- buy up old bottles at a flea market or try kitchen cast-offs, such as jam jars. We used white enamel, which yielded different shades of green depending on the tint of the glass.

STEPS

1. STEP 1

   Wash the bottle inside and out with soapy water; let dry.

2. STEP 2

   Pour in a small amount of the paint's surface conditioner, which primes the glass for the enamel.

3. STEP 3

   Swirl to coat fully, then pour out excess. Stand bottle upright, and dry for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   Pour in enough enamel to easily coat the inside. Swirl, and return excess to container for reuse.

5. STEP 5

   Dry bottle upside down on a paper towel for 48 hours, periodically wiping excess enamel from the rim with a damp cloth during the first hour.
