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 love how you put the straw in the the twine! I just did Mason Jar cups for Addison’s birthday.. I went back and forth cause I love these little milk bottles, but I needed some mason jars for some other things I have planned.
