What you'll need.
If you're crafty and love to entertain, throwing your empty Kanon Vodka bottles in the recycling bin isn't your only option. To celebrate the launch of Kanon in San Francisco, known to be one of the most eco-friendly cities in the country, we came up with a quick and simple DIY perfect for any dinner party. Because honestly, the fun shouldn't stop once the bottle runs dry.
You'll need:
- Krylon Spray Paint in "Metallic Silver"
- Montana Spray Paint in "Light Blue"
- Goo Gone or Goo Off
- painters tape
- plastic or paper bag
- butter knife
To Make:
1. Run the empty bottle under hot water to soften the label and glue.
2. Use a butter knife to scrape off the front and back label.
3. Pour Goo Gone onto a paper towel or old rag and wipe off any leftover.
4. Rip off a 12 inch piece of painters tape. Center the tape over the base of the bottle and rub the bottom edge against the glass.
5. Pull the sides up at a slight angle. As long as the bottom edge is taped smoothly, it's alright if the top edge of the tape ripples or folds. Bring one side of the tape across the top middle section of the bottle. Bring the other side to meet it at a point.
6. Tape on a plastic and paper bag while still exposing the bottom edge of the tape.
7. Spray 2-3 even coats of spray paint onto the bottle outdoors or in a well ventilated area. Allow to dry completely before removing all the tape and plastic.
8. An optional step is to tape off 2 inches of the top of the bottle, attach the same paper or plastic bag to the base and spray with a contrasting color. Make sure not to get too much paint into the opening because the paint will drip down the inside.
Your bottles are ready to hold long tapered candles or flowers at your next dinner party!
