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!

My sons were happy to drink much frappuccino so I could have these bottles.

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.

1 3/4″ punch is the key to covering these lids easily.

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. Then I glued it to the lid. It fit like a glove. Sweet.

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!

Omigosh! I put my comment in the wrong place again! lol Still learning the hoppin’ rules. Your site is AMAZING! I’m loving it! I can see myself coming back for more inspiration. The milk bottle is a super idea, the kids would love this at the school where I work. I will be on the lookout for smaller maybe plastic containers to share!
