CRAFTY MONDAY- WINE and SPIRITS EMPTY BOTTLES REPURPOSED SERIES

​This is my first recycled-repurposed wine bottle post for this series, to help a bit in keeping them out of our land fields. Most of you have wine bottles at home and if you don’t, I am sure that you have plenty of empty glass bottles that you can use to explore your artistic side and make them look pretty.
 
What would you do with them? Well, you can keep them or give them away to friends.
 
These are the bottle materials: Total ($2.00)
1 empty wine bottle (0)
1 craft color paint plus 1 small brush or craft roller (.50)
½ yard of green ribbon and 10” of thin craft wire (.50)
1 bunch of silk flowers ($1.50)
 
Directions
  • Get the empty wine bottle, wash it well inside and remove the labels. I keep the label dry and pour super-hot water, allow it to sit few minutes and then start to peel the label. If that doesn’t work, then submerge the bottle in hot water and let it sit for a while to detach it from the bottle. Allow it to dry completely, inside and out.
  • Place masking tape from top to bottom, or if you want, horizontally.
  • Press the edges really well to prevent the paint from bleeding into the area you want to keep clear.
  • Paint the bottle several times to your like, allow to dry for 1 day. No perfection needed.
  • Make a bow and secure it with the piece of wire. Then use the leftover wire to attach the bow to the bottle neck.
  • Put the silk flower inside and boom, you have an arrangement for $2.00.
