You can buy empty bling perfume bottles and fill them with your choice of fragrance, or you can make your own bling perfume bottle by customising an existing bottle. This involves cleaning the bottle and using a funnel to transfer your chosen perfume into the bottle.

Filling the bottle
Filling your bling perfume bottle depends on the type of bottle you have and the container your perfume is in. If you're using a travel bottle, you can use a funnel to fill it up with perfume. First, remove the cap and spray nozzle from your main perfume bottle. Then, take off the plastic or glass cap that's protecting the sprayer. Put a small funnel into the mouth of the travel bottle to help catch all of the perfume so that it doesn't spill. Once you've filled up the bottle, screw the travel bottle's sprayer back on. Put the cap on your travel bottle so that the sprayer doesn't accidentally get pressed down in your bag.
If you're using a metal travel atomizer, you can fit the bottom of it onto the perfume's nozzle and pump the sprayer until the bottle is full. If you're using a plastic travel bottle, spray the perfume with a metal atomizer directly into the bottle. You can also use a funnel to transfer perfume from a splash bottle into a plastic or glass travel bottle.
If you're using a spray bottle, you can remove the sprayer from the main perfume bottle and fit a plastic syringe over the nozzle. Press down on the nozzle and pull the syringe plunger up to fill the syringe with perfume. Then, put the syringe into the travel bottle and press the plunger down to fill it up.
If you're making your own perfume to fill the bottle, you can follow these steps:
- Clear off your workspace and lay down a tablecloth or newspaper to prevent spills.
- Make sure all your materials, including the bottle and droppers, are clean.
- Open up your base note and insert your pipette. Squeeze the bulb gently and let go to get the oil into the pipette.
- Count out 20 drops of your base note into the bottle.
- Open up your heart note and count out 10 drops. Put this essential oil and pipette aside.
- Count out 10 drops of your head note.
- Once you've transferred all the essential oils into your bottle, close the lid and shake it gently to mix them.
- Wait a week before testing your perfume.
- After a month, smell your perfume. If it has a strong odor of alcohol, that's generally okay. The alcohol smell should dissipate after a few seconds, leaving only the scent of your perfume.

Using a funnel
When using a funnel to refill a perfume bottle, there are a few steps to follow to ensure the process is mess-free and efficient. Firstly, remove the cap and spray nozzle from the main perfume bottle. This will expose the nozzle underneath. If you have trouble removing the sprayer, try wrapping it in a paper towel and gripping it with a pair of pliers.
Next, take a small funnel and place it into the mouth of your travel bottle. The funnel will catch all of the perfume and prevent spillage. Now, place the travel bottle on top of the nozzle, ensuring that you line up the red dot with the nozzle. Gently lift the travel bottle up and down to fill it with perfume. Keep an eye on the side of the travel bottle to know when it is full.
Once your travel bottle is filled, carefully remove the funnel and screw the sprayer back on. Place the cap on the travel bottle to prevent accidental pressing of the sprayer when carrying it in your bag. Now your bling bottle is ready to go!

Removing the sprayer
To make a bling perfume bottle, you will first need to remove the sprayer from your chosen bottle. This will be the first step in emptying your chosen perfume bottle. Removing the sprayer is a simple process, but it should be done carefully to avoid any damage to the bottle or sprayer mechanism.
First, identify the type of sprayer on your bottle. It may be metal or plastic, and this will determine the best method for removal. If it is a metal sprayer, you can try to gently twist and pull it off. If the sprayer is plastic, it is best to grip it firmly and pull it straight up to avoid breaking it.
If you are having trouble removing the sprayer, there are a few tricks you can try. One method is to wrap the sprayer in a paper towel and use a pair of pliers to get a better grip and provide more force to remove it. Alternatively, if you are working with a glass bottle, you can try to gently wedge a thin tool, like a flat-head screwdriver, between the sprayer and the bottle neck to gently pry it off.
Once the sprayer is removed, you can continue with the process of making your bling perfume bottle. This may include cleaning the bottle, adding rhinestones or other decorations, and refilling the bottle with your chosen fragrance.

Cleaning the bottle
Cleaning a perfume bottle can be a tricky task, especially if you want to reuse it for a new fragrance. The first step is to remove any remaining perfume oil residue. This can be done by using a degreaser, or a natural alternative such as vinegar, which cuts through grease and oil. Fill the bottle with vinegar and leave it to soak for at least an hour, or even a few days if the residue is particularly stubborn.
For a more intensive clean, add a teaspoon of uncooked rice to the vinegar. The rice acts as a gentle abrasive, helping to scrub off any remaining residue without scratching the glass. You can also add a small amount of mild liquid soap for an extra boost. Once you have added these ingredients, seal the bottle and gently swirl the mixture around, ensuring that all internal surfaces are covered.
If your bottle has intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas, you may need to use a small brush, such as a nail polish remover brush or a tiny bottle brush, to get into the crevices and ensure a thorough clean. Be mindful of the pressure you apply to avoid damaging the bottle. After scrubbing, rinse the bottle with warm water to remove any remaining vinegar, rice, or soap.
Finally, allow the bottle to dry completely. It is preferable to let it air dry outside in the sun, which will help eliminate any lingering odours. However, if left-over perfume odours persist, you can soak the bottle in rubbing alcohol or a combination of lemon juice and alcohol for several days, stirring the bottle occasionally. Wash the bottle with soap and warm water, then let it dry again.
