On Valentine’s Day my husband finally finished a bottle of his wine, so now I can do what I had anticipated on doing for months on end…decorate a wine bottle!!!
The first step was to take the
labels off of the bottle. Thanks to my
trusty ‘Goo Gone’ it didn’t take too much time.
I advise letting the bottle soak in hot water before trying to remove
any of the labels to make it very easy.
I know there is a cork rolling
around in there but *sigh* I guess that happens sometimes…
I chose this aqua color because
that is one of the colors we decorate heavily with in our kitchen! I painted a decent first coat on just to make
sure everything was covered, and then let it dry for the day.
Once I gave it the second coat, it
really started to look nice!
To top it off I made a quick
rosette burlap flower and tied it on with a ribbon!
I am still tossing the idea around
to perhaps sand it in different areas to give it a rustic look. We shall see!
This is going to look awesome on
the window sill, especially if we stick a single flower in there. Hopefully I can get my hands on some more wine bottles...I guess I will have to encourage my husband to have more wine (I don't drink since I'm not fond of the taste). All in all this was a quick, fun, and inexpensive DIY craft!
Hope you enjoy!!!
