Garage Sale Container With Bottles Received A Festive Christmas Makeover with Paint & Decor Transfers
September 28, 2021
I picked up these little bottles in a rusty black metal holder at a
garage sale for $1 last Saturday.
I just gave them a festive Christmas makeover!

First, I washed the bottles in hot soapy Dawn Dish Soap water in the kitchen sink and let them
dry upside down overnight.
I pulled out my Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Drop Cloth. This is a great chalk paint off white color, that will stick to the glass.
I used a sponge brush dampened with a water spritz from a spray bottle, and painted the tops of the bottles first.
I applied two coats of paint to the tops and bottoms of the bottles.
I then used a 3M Sanding Sponge in Fine/Medium to distress the tops a bit and smooth out the brush strokes.
I'm loving these new small decor transfers now available from Redesign with Prima. Perfect for small projects.
I purchased these from Maika's Daughters (online). They are also available on Etsy.
I used Classic Christmas for my bottle project. There are three 6" x 12" sheets of designs in each package. I cut out three designs for the bottles.
This design with bells, holly and a bow fit the bottle pretty well so I peeled off the backing paper and centered it on the front of the bottle.
I used the flat stick to rub on the transfer.
One done.
Here are my three bottles after painting, distressing, adding transfers and waxing the bottles with a coat of Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear.
I cut apart this evergreen stem with a wire cutter. I found it at a local floral shop. It's made by Sullivans Gifts.
I stuffed the greenery into each bottle.
I decided not to add any further decoration like bows, etc.
I love this new Christmas transfer on off white bottles!
Thanks for visiting! I'm going to look for more junk to add Christmas transfers on.
Pin for later!
