Use Old Prescription Bottles To Create Floral Wall Art With An Impressive DIY

Being sick is no fun, but making something beautiful out of the prescription bottles certainly can be. There are a number of ways you can reuse prescription medicine bottles, depending on your style and preferences. One craft you shouldn't overlook comes from YouTuber Loli Ds Creations, who turned empty prescription bottles into small vases mounted on wooden wall hangings. The result is a beautiful piece of floral wall art that's easy to make and can be customized to fit different occasions, seasons, and styles. To make your own, you'll need a wooden wall plaque, paint, pliers, hot glue, empty prescription bottles, and flowers. You may also want extra decorative supplies like twine, paper, or ribbon. If you can't find a wall plaque you like, you can make your own by attaching twine to the back of a piece of wood.

Prescription bottles are easy to repurpose for this craft, since they're roughly the same shape as a vase and are small enough to fit on a wall sign. You can fill them with faux flowers or add some water to them and use real ones. Other types of medicine bottles can also be decorated and used as vases, but you'll need to consider their size. Larger, more rounded medicine bottles may not fit as well onto your wall plaque without modification. Alternatively, if you have a larger plaque, consider using multiple prescription bottles to fill the space. You could stack the bottles for a taller vase or arrange them side-by-side to make a row of vases.

Start by removing the label from your prescription bottle as well as the lid. To ensure your prescription bottle sits flat against the wood plaque, you'll need to use pliers or scissors to remove the flat tab that sticks out from the rim. Alternatively, you can leave it and turn the bottle so the other side is against the wood, but the shape may still be recognizable as a medicine bottle. Although, you could incorporate it into your design by using the tab as a perch for a bird or bee.

Next, decorate your prescription bottle. Loli Ds Creations painted hers white, with decorative burlap ribbon accents. You could make yours more colorful, use clay to change up the shape, or even take inspiration from this rustic prescription bottle decor by wrapping it in twine. If you want to decorate your wooden plaque, now's the time to do that as well. Paint it, add beads to the hanger or edges, or add some patterned paper to it. Just keep in mind that the prescription bottle and the flowers in it will take up some space, so you'll need to plan a design that won't be covered by them. Use hot glue or another strong adhesive to attach the bottle to the wood and add your flowers. If you want them arranged in a particular way, add some florist foam or a flower frog to the bottle. All that's left is to hang up your new wall art and admire it!
