Here's my update on what I did with my empty Starbuck's bottles.  I first rinsed them out and then  I peeled off the clear label. I did that under hot water so it loosened up the label's glue a little.  I did have to use a bit of "Goo Gone" in order to remove the little bit of sticky residue that was left. After that I sent them through the dishwasher with the lids. That way I knew they were really clean. I took the lids and spray painted them white. I used the Krylon Fusion spray pain as it sticks really well to metal and plastic.



The lids took two coats of paint.  Make sure that the first coat is really dry before adding the second or it will start to look cracked.  I made that mistake before. :-)


Once I finished with the lids they were ready to get put to use.


I started adding my paper flowers. These are the first bottles I started filling.


I really like how they look in my new bottles.

Now I just need to find a shelf unit or some sort of rack that I can put them on that I can
 attach to the side of my craft cabinet.  If anyone has any ideas for me please let me know. 

Have a great day and I'm on to my next project.  Happy crafting!
