As I mentioned a few days ago we have a few birthdays coming up this month.
I am especially excited about my Anni’s birthday.
She is having a Pajamas Late Night Owl Party
and of course we have to have milk and donuts as part of it.
For the longest time I have been tempted to purchase those super cute little milk bottles that I see all over the place.
Being Mrs. Thrifty Me I could not make myself to do so.
I wanted to give a try to transform the small Starbucks jugs into mini milk bottles
and I am here to tell you that this took me just a few minutes.
I made 12 bottles for a little over $12… now that I can handle.
I ended up using these Archer Farm bottles because they were on sale.
Let me show you…
1
I peeled off the plastic wrapper.
Time: About 10 seconds.
2
I spray painted the lid.
Time: About 30 seconds.
3
While the lid was drying I poured out the latte, { we don’t drink coffee in our home } washed the small bottle and I poured some milk in.
I put the lid back on, tied some baker’s twine around it, and I placed the straw in place.
Time: About 150 seconds.
As easy as one, two, three!
In about 3 minutes and for about $1… not bad!
These small milk bottles are adorable and perfect for any breakfast.
Give it a try!
Now I better go… I have an Anniversary to celebrate!
I hope to see you all this evening at 6:30pm during the Link Party!
Besos!

I am sharing this projects over at these fantastic parties!
Thank you for this blog!! I went to Target and although they don’t carry Archer farms lattes due to their contract with Starbucks, the Starbucks bottles worked great and I found a $1 off coupon per 4 pack!!! So much better than ordering the ones I saw online… Thank you, thank you!!!
You are very welcome Allyson!
This is absolutely BRILLIANT! You just saved my s’mores bar buffet- I couldn’t stomach the thought of spending so much money on mini milk bottles- this is such a great solution- plus, they come with caps- perfect for outdoors! Thanks!
You are very welcome Kate!
Great post. I used the Starbucks jars last year for a bridal shower and again this month for 2 baby showers. The jars you used were more efficient because the Starbucks jars had to be soaked to get the glued-on labels off.
I used these bottles all the time… Glad that you stop by!
I know you posted this awhile ago, but I am using your idea for my wedding. I am wondering what type of spray paint you used for the bottle caps?
Just regular metallic spray paint.
