Don't throw out that empty wine bottle you have! You can transform it into a lovely vase with a little bit of paint! I made this actually for a welcome gift for a friend who just purchased a house. It is a great and inexpensive gift to make. Here are the supplies you will need:
- Empty wine bottle (all labels removed & bottle cleaned)
- A few different size paintbrushes
- A solid color acrylic paint (I used Martha Stewart Satin Craft Paint in Pink Viburnum)
- A glitter color acrylic paint (I used Martha Stewart Glitter Craft Paint in Rose Quartz)
- Acrylic paint in black
- A flower spray of your choice
Paint the wine bottle with the color of your choice. I used the satin color from Martha Stewart's Craft Paints line in Pink Viburnum. You will need to do several coats, allowing time in between coats to dry. You want the bottle to be completely covered and so that you can no longer see streaks.
Next you are going to paint on your message on the bottle. You can choose anything! I decided to use "WELCOME" because this is a gift for a new home. Use your black acrylic paint to paint on your message. Let dry.
To make the word pop, I am using Martha Stewart's Glitter Craft Paint in Rose Quartz. By painting the letters in black first, you are giving the glitter paint a base to be able to be vibrant. If you paint the glitter right onto the bottle without a dark color behind it, you will not be able to see the glitter paint. If you want to have a lighter base color for the lettering you can.
Let the paint dry completely. Add the flower spray of your choice and you have yourself a wonderful wine bottle vase.
All In All: This project is easy and inexpensive. The color options are endless. You can paint it any color you wish. You can use all kinds of different words like HOME, LOVE, FAMILY or even a monogram. With just a little paint and some creativity, you can have yourself a nice wine glass vase.
