DIY One of A Kind Oil & Vinegar Dispensers

Fun fact about me: I love breads and dipping sauces. Bread is absolutely one of my weakness when it comes to some of the diet plans out there…it’s a problem. But back to the dipping sauces, part of the allure is some of the decorative containers the oils and vinegar’s come in. I tend to switch out my kitchen decor, at least some of the accent pieces with the seasons. This is partly as a way to change things up so it doesn’t get boring, and partly as a way to justify my collection of containers, dispensers and decor. Some say hoard…I say collect. I also love crafts, especially with up-cycling projects. Taking something that could easily be garbage and making it useful, pretty, or fun again really motivates a lot of my crafting like this bottle craft that I did for Valentine’s Day a few weeks ago.

 

DIY Oil and Vinegar Dispensers

 

Know what else I love? Diet Coke. I love to pop one open and sip on it as I’m working or crafting. An ice cold one is just crisp and refreshing and sometimes I need that to keep me going. Now imagine how elated I was to find out these new, uniquely packaged bottles of Diet Coke were being released. This had up-cycle written all over it because not only are these bottles gorgeous, no two are exactly alike so you have a truly unique item to work with. Of course I ran to Fred Meyer the first chance I got and picked up several bottles and a few of the mini cans because well, they were terribly cute!

I wasn’t 100% sure at first what I wanted to do with the bottles, but I finally decided that I’d turn them in to Oil and Vinegar dispensers (remember the bread and dipping sauces addiction – perfect fit!). What I love about this project is that it’s super easy, you don’t have to be Martha Stewart to successfully complete it, and not only will these bottles add a pop of color to your own kitchen just in time for Spring, they make great, one of a kind gifts (housewarming maybe?).

 

Diet Coke Uniquely Mine

 

Just look how pretty these are! Here’s how I turned two of these empty Diet Coke bottles into gorgeous oil and vinegar dispensers that are uniquely mine:

Step One: Pop open and enjoy a delicious Diet Coke. This step is super important to help get you motivated to complete the rest of the project.

Step Two: Wash your bottles out with soap and water and turn upside down to dry.

Step Three: Fill one bottle with olive oil (or whatever your favorite dipping or cooking oil is) and fill second with Vinegar of choice (I usually go with Balsamic)

Vented Pourer

Step Four: Insert vented pourer into top of each bottle (these can be picked up at just about any store with a kitchen section – just look for vented pourer replacements)

Step Five: Grab some bread and enjoy!

    Wow! what a cool oil and vinegar dispenser. I would have never thought of doing this. I have never seen the vented pourer replacement – will have to look for these! It might be easy to by them online 😉
