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!

This is a super cute idea! I’m following now via Pinterest and Facebook!
What a CUTE idea! I’m keeping this in mind for the next time my son has friends over and we decide to do cookies and milk!
Jesseca they are super fun!
Desireé, I love this!!! I saved about 354 frappucino bottles a few years ago, and ended up throwing them out after T yelled at me. 😉 Maybe it’s time to start saving them again. 😉 Adorable!
Thank you Amanda… 354! Girl you must like your frappucino 😀
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!
so cute… I only had the jars
You need to try them… they are adorable!
These are WONDERFUL! I have got to try these! =)
Super cute as well! Did you make the straws? If not, where did you get them? I really don’t want to buy the straws so if you ever find a tutorial it’s something I’d love to know how to do!
Desiree, I do love your thrifty milk bottles, they are so clever. I find it very tricky to pass on a vintage bottle at the best of times! Yours are so beautifully crafted and I am sure they will be super popular!
Thank you so much for the vist and for your sweet comment!
Absolutely ADORABLE!!!!! You are so clever!! 🙂
So cute! I don’t drink coffee either, so I would never have thought of this! My oldest is turning 5 this summer so I think I still have a few years before sleepovers, fingers crossed:)
