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!

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
