I need a Cerveza!...Cinco de Mayo Centerpiece


 Cerveza Centerpieces for Cinco de Mayo

First the "EASY"
"fácil"way...

Colorful water filled Coronita Bottles,
with beautiful "borrowed" flowers from my neighbor's front yard...

(can you believe that orange naranja color?


 the "HARD"
"difícil"way...
(not really hard, just takes a little time and patience!)

Painted cerveza bottles...

Drip paint inside then turn and roll bottle around until all sides are covered.
Place bottles upside down for excess to run out.
It took a few coats, with a few hours drying time between,
 but it was worth it, the colors really pop.

Either way,
you get to have a few cervezas for (and before :)
 Cinco de Mayo

Ole!

 (You can put water in the painted bottles and 
they look great for the arrangement but the water takes the paint off 
so they are for use UNO time)

  3. What a great way to create a recycled decoration! I love how you painted the inside of the bottle. It would be a lot of fun to try this with some other clear bottles for a similar painted look. Thanks for the inspiration!
