My first try at altering StarBucks Frappacino bottles! I am very pleased with how these turned out. Now I want to make more... the only thing is I can't let myself drink all those mocha fraps... they are sooo good!
I cheated and used one of DH's Miller Lite carriers, since I had 6 frap bottles, and the StarBucks holder only holds 4!
It's kind of hard to see, but at the top of the carrier, the little tags say "Witching You..." and "A Haunting Halloween". They are attached to spirals of wire, so they bob and bounce at the slightest movement.
The bottles are filled with halloween jelly beans, Reese's pieces, candy corn, caramel corn (didn't even know there was such a thing until I went candy shopping!), and halloween M&M's.
The bottle caps are decorated with Batty For You images punched out with 1 1/4" circle punch, then matted with 1 3/8" and then 2" circle punches. Thin strips of patterned paper are adhered around the edges of the caps.
Thanks for looking!

What a brilliant idea for a terrific gift! I agree about the Frappacinos, they are delicious but not so good for my diet; maybe there are recipes in which you could use the drink, give away the goodies made with it, and have the empty bottles to embellish! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
