Creations, “Doodle” Bottles

I call these Doodle Bottles because they remind me of doodling, you know just mindlessly making patterns and marks with a pen…
These bottles are just as easy as doodling, and they certainly don’t have to be perfect. They are just funky little folk art bud vases or decorative bottles
I have been saving these gray bottles from one of my favorite wines, because I think they are so pretty and wanted to reuse them
I decided to experiment with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
The middle bottle, above, is painted Paris Grey and the 2 outside bottles are painted with Old White. Below all 3 bottles were painted with Paris Grey, silver paint pen, and pink and white paint
I tried a variety of designs, and experimented with silver and gold paint pens, and a little paint
I even left one totally plain, center. It’s painted with ASCP French Linen, a perfect match for these warm gray bottles
These bottles play dress up well too 🙂
Pretty in rose blooms!
with a Wine Cork Heart 💗
I have already had lots of fun with these “Doodle” bottles
Endless possibilities…
Groups, singles or pairs
any combination
with fancy stoppers
on a book shelf
or with anything!
I can’t wait to use them for fluffy fresh hydrangea blooms this spring
Juicy Details
The wine bottle is Mer Soleil Silver, a California Chardonnay

I used Krylon gold and silver leaf pens from Amazon.com here and acrylic paints to add the patterns

So fun Jenna, I love the whimsy of your bottle vases! You must sleep with your paintbrush by your bed to grab and go in the morning 🙂 I love those Mer Soleil bottles too and recycled a couple for a wine light torch and bottle tree.
Oh wow! I love it!!! We get the same wine. I too loved the bottles. What a great idea! Oh you bloggers are so crafty!! Keeping the bottles now … Lol.. So glad you put it out there.. Thankyou!
Thanks Melissa!
What a cheery little group they make. Love this idea!
My Christmas ones are still on the back porch! I need to get busy and do some more, maybe a few with hearts? See you tomorrow!
Jenna, these are gorgeous! Love the color and designs and how you grouped them together for a beautiful vignette with the red roses and wreath. Perfect for winter into Valentine’s Day………….
thanks Emily, I have had so much fun moving them around, you will see them or variations again!
They look pretty with the roses:@)
These are so cute! The bottles are really nice. I should drink more wine so I can make vases, but then I would just go to sleep.
I love these. Each bottle has such personality! Paint pens make paint doodling seem as easy as doodling on paper with a pen. What fun you’ll have with these fancy bottles! 🙂
These are so cute! What a great idea!
You are just so creative, Jenna! I love all your doodles. What a great way to add a bit of whimsy to a table or vignette.
Thanks for joining us at Project Inspire{d}!
How fun are these?? Painting these was probably so freeing…just letting your creativity flow. Love them! XO
