I enjoy wine, maybe a little more than the next guy or gal. A few months ago I saw a way to repurpose my bottles (cutting the bottles and making candles), but that was a flop, with a capital F! You can read about that adventure here, as I am still taking suggestions on how to actually cut the flipping bottle! This led me to find other ways to repurpose my bottles. This accomplishes 3 things for me: repurposes materials (although I do recycle as well), relaxes me (crafting is fun), and I get a new home decor item. #Winning
Here's what you need (I've linked some products):
Wine bottle (remove label and thoroughly clean)
Paint (I used a chalky paint)
Glue gun
Sand Paper (optional)
Sealant (optional)
Paint the bottle; I applied three coats and then distressed with sandpaper; you can seal the paint if you want to avoid chipping and wear. |
Glue the twine around the bottom of the bottle. |
Keeping wrapping and gluing the twine in a spot or two after every couple of rows. |
Add some burlap ribbon (or not) by gluing. |
Embellish with some paper flowers or silk flowers. |
The bottle on the left was not distressed and sealed with Mod Podge, resulting in a glossier more finished look. |
