DIY Valentine’s Day Flower Vase
I’m obsessed with Ashland Milk Bottles! I think they’re so pretty and have a unique, vintage look. I bought a bunch in the fall and picked up a few more on a recent trip to Michael’s. There are so many ways to use them (like this Easy Milk Bottle Craft) that I stocked up to always have some on hand.
For Valentine’s day, I made a super easy DIY Valentine’s Day Flower Vase using my milk bottles, spray paint and a little bit of glitter. I had some fake flowers to put in them and love how they turned out. The silver spray paint gives it a winter feel and the glitter reminds me a little of glistening snow that catches the sunlight. You could put real flowers in them, but I chose to use fake ones. Less maintenance and a more frugal option.
I might even keep these out on display and just change up the flowers depending on the season. I’m going to have quite the collection of milk bottle crafts at the rate I’m going!
The only thing that is hard about doing this craft in the winter time is the spray paint. Normally I would spray paint outside, but in -30 weather and a foot of snow that ain’t happening! I spray painted near an open window and used a cardboard box to shield the surroundings. Thankfully I didn’t get any spray paint all over my table or floor. I’ll chalk that up to a success!
DIY Valentine’s Day Flower Vase
Supplies
- Milk Bottles (or your favourite glass bottle)
- Spray Paint – metallic silver

You’ll probably be seeing more milk bottle crafts from me as I clean out my craft area. I haven’t decided what I’ll make next though. Any thoughts?
That is such a good idea. Looks very pretty.
I really like this,thanks for sharing
Very pretty. Great idea.
Love the way you decorated them with silver and glitter. Nothing over the top but very simple and classy. You could use this for many types of flowers and occasions.
We don t get those milk bottles around my area but going to check at the Dollar store they may have something there

Cute idea, Stacie. I agree, sometimes fake is better…and the cats don’t bother them, either!
These are beautiful and very festive for Valentines Day!

these are lovely. I remember the days long long ago when the milk-man used to come around and deliver milk bottles to our doorstep. I even used to collect milk bottles as in time they had advertising on them and looked decorative. Wish I’d kept a few now 🙂
Very creative and inexpensive craft 🙂 I currently use mason jars as flower vases
Very pretty! I am going to have to see if I can find some of those milk bottles!
