For the last couple of years I have been hooked on mason jars, and probably always will be. Lately I have had my eye on milk bottles and all the adorable uses for them. They look great on a party table and can be used in some pretty crafty ways. Check out these 20 crafty ways to use milk bottles.

Don’t have any of these fun bottles in your home? Don’t worry, you can pick these up a couple of places. My first resource is Starbucks coffee bottles you can find at the grocery store. Drink the delicious coffee, wash the bottle, peel off the label and you are ready for a project!
Or, skip the coffee, and pick up a set of these cute bottles.
