Repurposed Frappuccino Bottles….

Thought I’d pass along this idea to ya today……….

As I’ve cleaned up the yard this week I am very aware of all the leftover greenery from daffodils that were glorious just a couple of weeks ago! And as I clean out closets I am very aware that I have an excessive frappuccino drinking problem.

I have gotten into the habit of saving my frappuccino bottles —- the labels remove so very easily and they can be used in so many ways. We’ve used them from everything to making fun ‘note in a bottle’ beach birthday party invitations to spraying the lids and using them to showcase fun vacation memories.  {We collect sand from each beach that we visit–and display it in its own bottle labeled with the beach’s name.}

AS A SPECIAL VASE:

I was going to have lunch with a friend and wanted to take her a vase of flowers—-aha!  My trusty frappuccino bottle stash awaits!

I wanted to make it special so out I went to gather those millions of leftover daffodil greenery, {OK, not millions, maybe just 3 or 4} and tied it around the neck of the bottle.  Voila!  No longer did it look like a homely bottle, our cleared out some excessive greenery, and blessed a friend. 🙂

<OK, I have GOT to get a new camera.  I have worn this one out.  And it might just have possibly maybe been dropped one too many times?????..>

FOR A SPECIAL COLLECTION DISPLAY:

Each time our family visits a new beach we carry ziploc bags and fill them with sand.  Aha!  The handy frappuccino bottle once again is needed. {These practices make me feel better about my excessive frappuccino drinking.} I sometimes paint the lids silver—but any color that fits your style would look great.  Fill ’em up and put ’em out!  {I use nifty little tags from the office supply store and a labeler to make fun tags of what’s inside.}

A FUN BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITE:

When my son was 5 he wanted a beach birthday party.  Aha!  We need frappuccino bottles to make message in a bottle invites—they will be so fun!  {Everyone loved them!}  We filled the handy dandy frappuccino bottles  1/2 full of sand, printed a fun invite on parchment paper and then burned the edges, rolled the invite up and stuck it in the bottle.  We added some small shells, too.  We hand delivered the invites—and boy were they a hit!

This would also be fun for an adult/family/reunion, etc. party for the summer.  And, once again, you could be comforted to know that the small fortune you spend on this wonderful beverage would serve more than one purpose.

So, I hope these few ideas will help you, as well, feel better about your excessive frappuccino drinking.  {Or maybe give you an excuse to start drinking excessive frappuccinos.  After all, you would be using these nifty bottles to make your home a cozier nest and bless others!}  Wow!
