When I put together the Milkaholic Baby Shower for our friends, I had no idea the overwhelming response it would receive! So many of you have left kind comments and inquired about everything from the invitation to the food labels, patterned papers and milk bottles. I am currently working to make the invitation available for purchase (via a third party… more on that to come! ). But for now, I thought we’d start off with the milk bottles.
So today we’re sharing instructions for the milk bottles along with a FREE PRINTABLE file for the labels. Here is everything you’ll need to make some MILKaholic bottles of your own!
Frappuccino Bottles
Black Spray Paint
MILKaholic Labels {free printable here}
Adhesive Remover
Black Sharpie
DIRECTIONS
- Enjoy a bottle of Frappuccino!
- Rinse bottle. Remove label. Spray with adhesive remover (like goo-gone) and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Scrub off adhesive residue with a sponge or cloth. Wash the entire bottle and lid in dishwasher. Let dry completely.
- Spray paint lid black. Let dry completely.
- Print Milkaholic labels on sticker paper. Get the FREE PRINTABLE labels here.
- Punch out labels with 1 3/4″ circle punch. The outer black boarder is thicker than necessary to give you some room for error on the punch. The final label will have only a thin outer black border.
- Affix a label on the top of lid and front of bottle. Enjoy!
TIPS:
If your circle punch is old and dull like mine, the outer black border of the label may have some unsightly white fringe. Before attaching label, use a black Sharpie marker to touch up any white areas. This will make your final product look more polished!
Don’t fill the bottles with milk until you’re ready to use them. The labels will wrinkle with the condensation that pools on the cold bottle!
Fabulousness! I hear punching through aluminum foil can sharpen a punch?
Ooohh! Thanks for the tip! My circle punch may just find its second wind!!
Cute idea!
adorable…and as an added bonus you get to drink all those frappucinos:)
Soo adorable! This gets my mind spinning on some other party uses for the bottles, spray paint….
Very cute! Thanks for sharing your secrets!
Great idea! Cheaper than buying those milk bottles I see at all these parties. Drinking SB frapp in the meantime is a treat too!
What a great idea! I can’t wait for your other Milkaholic items to be available! I’m not sure if all Aldi’s will carry them, but our local store carries the generic iced coffee (my husband likes them!) and the lid is already black!
Adorable!
Whys at this time there a real very good write-up!
Thank you sooo much! I’ve been scouring the web searching for old school milk bottles with lids to no avail. I’m so glad creative minds like yours are willing to share such ingenious (and frugal) decor ideas!
Thank you! Found these on Pinterest and of course, had to pin again!
I agree with missteeqh. Thanks for sharing your amazing creations. Can’t wait to try this. It will be so cute for a nice glad you are in my life gift to a cookie and milk lover!!!
I love your creativity. I wish I were as creative as you guys are. So beautiful. I am so using these. Thanks so much for sharing!~
There are adorable, but is that paint non-toxic??
To help with a dull punch, punch through aluminum foil a couple of times to sharpen it! Learned it from Martha Stewart!
Is the size already correct once you print these? Also, do you print on label paper? Thx!
Do you have other free printables/templates for the tent cards,the bottom of the candy favors, or favor tags? If not….could you provide them or something similar for those of us that are throwing showers on a budget?
THANKS!
Mary – yes, these labels are ready to print and punch. Just follow the directions at the top of the page.
The additional files are available for purchase in my Esty shop here:

thanks so much!!
This is a great idea , going to use it for girls birthday cake party, using the cake plates , made them today , and fell in love with them and sure the kids will too.
thanks for sharing with us .
these bottles look amazing! Just the idea I needed for my daughter’s birthday! Thank you 🙂
Hey … if I can help ….. let me know where I can get all milkaholic decorating to babyshower?
These turned out amazing!! So many fun things to do with those bottles! Feel free to link them up on my site!
how will you wash the bottle with out the printables coming off?
These are definitely one-time use when it comes to the printables. The labels will absolutely come off with water! But the bottles can be used over and over, if you want.
The printables link says page is not found 🙁
The link has been updated and is now working again – sorry about that!
I really wanted to print the labels but the link no longer works 🙁 HELP!
The link has been updated and is now working again – sorry about that!
I’m recycling about 70 of the large Frappaccino bottles as part of my Christmas gifts for co-workers.
I have the grommets and straws to convert the lids, but when I went to buy the paint the sales person said that although the Metal spray paints are all water based, he didn’t know if they are safe to put on a drink lid. the only place it could possibly come in contact with the drink is under the grommet. Is there a specific paint that I should use?
