Halloween Upcycle Frappuccino Bottle
I don’t know where I’ve been when it comes to making projects using these cool bottles but I finally did it! It was super fun!
Need vinyl? I like to buy mine from Expressions Vinyl.
I bought these Starbucks frappuccino’s at my local grocery store and my sons helped empty them…into their tummies. I washed the bottles, peeled off the labels and used Goo Gone to take off the rest of the stickiness.
Using the Cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge to create the skeleton, I cut him out of white vinyl. Then I used transfer tape to move his bony little body to the bottle. Need help with vinyl? Check out my Cricut Vinylology DVD.
To make the lid blend in better with the overall project, I punched a little piece of paper out using this 1-3/4″ punch.
I added a piece of ribbon around the top of the bottle using craft Glue Dots. They did a great job!
Using Joy’s Life Halloween Puns stamps, I created this little tag. I used a standard hole punch and then threaded some raffia through it. I love raffia!
This is a fun way to serve a themed drink at parties!
Time for a GIVEAWAY!

I am in love with this idea, I am going to have to start drinking my Starbucks in the bottles for a while. Think of all the stuff (because of the coffee)I can get done. It would be like multitasking right? He-he
This is a fantastic idea, I wish I’d live here to try that frappuccino, it sounds yummy and the bottles are great for that wonderful project!! Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful Hallloween paper kit, I hope to be in even if I’m from Italy!!!
