I’m sure by now you guys are sick to death of seeing my bookshelves! But each time they end up in a post, I get comments and emails about the pink dipped bottles on the top shelf. Which always reminds me that I have a handful of DIY projects sitting on these shelves….that I’ve yet to post! And then I forget about them again.
So today I’ll share the one most asked about…the DIY Dipped Bottles!
I started with this random assortment of glass bottles, that I somehow collected over the years. Chances are, you have a few similar. I wanted them to have a uniform look in the bookcases, and be an accent for the room.
So I spray painted the top portion white and let it dry completely. Overnight is probably best. Then using painters tape, I covered the painted area and sprayed the bottom portion pink. I let that set a few minutes, then carefully peeled the tape off. Do this slowly so you don’t chip the white paint. I stood the bottles upside down overnight to fully dry before bringing them inside.
Granted the bottles don’t see a lot of action (or none), but I’ve had no problems with the paint staying on the glass. I rushed mine a bit so they turned out a little sloppy…that’s how they ended up on the top shelf.
Just another example of spraypaint transforming the plain to fabulous! And since I already owned the paint, this project cost me nada! Nunca. Nothing. Isn’t that the best kind of project?!
I’ll get busy writing about the other simple projects on the shelves. Do you have similar glass bottles? There are so many options for changing them up!

Oh how fun! Love the pop of color! Adds a lot of interest to your shelves!
Love it!
Love the bottles! Another question about your shelf. Where did you find the wooden birds – they're wonderful!

How fun looking is that?! I have a box of "cute" bottles I put away because I was tired of them. Now I can bring them back out and give them some new life!
what a great idea! they add a nice little pop of color to your shelves. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
What a great solution for those guys! I wouldn't have thought to give them the dipped look, and that's totally what makes them look so cool.
So cute! I love them!
That's really great! I love how just a little spray paint and ingenuity can make them all look uniform and so lovely. 🙂
I love these. Thanks for posting. Did you use spray paint that is specifically for glass?
Super cute Cassie! They really are a statement piece – who would have thought bottles could be so fancy and cute!
This is SO fun. Love a good DIY and your collection of vases is fab!

I was one who asked about these…such an awesome solution for those random bottles we all seem to have lying around. I love everything about your bookshelves!
What a cute idea…and simple too! My favorite kind! Love the pops of pink!
I love when it costs nothing! Love them!!
I really like that! I may have to give it a try with some of our bottles lying around!
love this! a great idea for all those random olive oil bottles I have laying around. So Im mentioning you tomorrow in my post – I did a little DIY brass action.
Super cute idea! I had always wondered about them.
Oooh, super chic! I love that they are all unified by color and vary in shape! And nothing is better than FREE!

Would you mind telling me where you found the geometric print contact or wall paper? Love this whole look!
thanks Jen! That is fabric from Hobby Lobby! I used spray adhesive to tack it up, then trimmed it out in grosgrain ribbon. Hope this helps! xo
