Spicy.

-I have a thing with saving certain glass items to recycle or upcycle them for a good cause. So the new year saw me delving into a a few small projects like this one: new spice rack.
-I saw the idea for glass etching through the DIY forums as well as reusing the bottles of those delicious starbucks frappes. And well...I wanted some fancier spices than the plastic ones from the store.

Materials:
-Any number of used starbucks frappe bottles (1 per spice :)
-Spices
-Dish soap
- Glass etching cream & stencil letters
-Paint brush OR the classy cotton Q-tip

-So I started out by washing the bottles in warm soapy water. I soaked the bottles for a few min and was able to easily peel off the labels front and back. Taking a washcloth, you can scrub off any remaining residue leftover from the labels. Dry.
-Take the stencil letters, which are reusable and can be reapplied many times, and make some words! I did spices: basil, rosemary, oregano...as well as sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and "taco" (my taco seasoning that I put together). You could also do any other spices that you have a plethora of.
-Using your fancy paintbrush (or Q-tip!) apply the etching cream generously on the stencil letters...let dry...peel off the stencil...brush off excess dried cream...and voila! FANCY SPICE BOTTLE.
-Fill the bottles up with the appropriate spice (or don't...and be cool like that).


BAM. Fancy.

[I have not yet figured out if they are machine washable...or washable...]
