material
- Cream or milk bottles 0.5 l
- Touch-up pen in copper
- Adhesive letters
- dish soap
- cutter
Directions:
Soak the cream or small milk bottles in warm water with a little dish soap. After a short time, the labels and stickers on the bottles will be easy to remove.
Now use the letters (available in any office supply store) to stick a nice saying or a name on the bottles.
Paint over the letters with a waterproof touch-up pen (I used copper) to create even bars. If you like, you can also decorate the white lids with a pattern. Let them dry briefly. Then peel off the letters. Any imperfections can be carefully scraped out of the letters with a cutter.

The approximately 70 suggestions can be varied according to your own taste. By experimenting with colors, patterns, and shapes, you can create individual pieces that will bring joy for a long time and will also be
perfect as a personal gift for a loved one.
