What You'll Need:
Steps for Painting a Paint Bottle Pendant
Before you get started, you'll need to gather some materials. You'll also need to find a paint bottle or two to work with. The most important part of the project is finding a paint bottle with a wide opening. If your bottle has a standard opening, you won't be able to use the lid as a pendant charm. Make sure the bottle you choose has a wide opening.
From there, you'll need some basic materials and tools. We recommend using a pencil eraser to help smooth out the edges of your paint bottles. You'll also want to use a hammer to attach the pendant to your bottle as well as a nail or screw. Once you have your materials, you're ready to begin!
The Results: Have Fun!
Clean your bottles thoroughly and sand down any rough edges. Once the bottles are clean, you'll need to paint the insides. We recommend using acrylic paint to keep it simple and safe. After the bottles are painted, you'll need to let them dry completely. Once your jarred paint is dry, you'll want to remove the paint and attach the pendant. You can do this by hammering the pendant onto the lid. If you don't have a hammer, you can use a nail or screw, but a hammer makes the job much easier.
Once the pendant is securely attached, you'll need to let the bottle dry completely. If your paint bottles are already dry, you can leave them as is, but it's best not to use the jarred paint until your paint is completely dry. Then, you'll want to remove the pendant and clean the jarred paint from your bottles. It's that simple!
