These jars are so cute, and casts my mocha problem into a positive light since I tend to have exactly these jars on hand in excess! I got right down to it, making three- one for a friend who is moving to Philadelphia not long after I move to Arkansas in a few weeks, and two for me.
The tutorial/how-to on that hyperlink explains the process pretty well- peeling stickers off is not hard (although I did have to break out the rubbing alcohol for the sticky patches left on the bottles). Also, the lids take at least three coats to completely cover the Starbucks logo.
Look at the little lid-drying stand I MacGyvered! Lids are currently drying the second coat of paint.
This is an easy, cheap, fun craft. When I finish off the rest of my bottled mochas I may have to make more for my other friends as well!
The white one that says 'friends' on it is for a friend of mine as a going-away present. We're both moving from New Mexico to different states this summer, so tomorrow night we're having one final get-together. All of this is leftover candy from Easter (that's why I'm shifting some of it onto a friend. If anyone asks I paid full price :P )
