Vase

Recently I have been using this skincare product and it came in a glass bottle form. To throw it away seems pretty wasteful so I decided to reuse it and make it into a vase since the blue color is so pretty.

However I had a hell of a time trying to remove the paint or whatsoever that was used on the bottle, I tried thinner, turpentine, acetone, alcohol but nothing seems to work till I used this sandpaper like foam. Only problem is it scratches away some of the color from the bottle as well. It went from the picture on the left to how it is today on the right.

But will use it for now and later if I wanted, I can either spray paint the bottle in another color OR I simply do some mod podging on it with paper or fabric.
