Altered wine bottles

Hi all,

Happy Friday!!!

I always like to store empty wine bottles. But getting rid of some bottles was must when my attic got overloaded with these bottles. My creative mind got on the wheel and started thinking about altering some bottles into something useful. I came across some of the altered wine bottle images online. With the help of these images my new project started.




Steps to follow:

1. Soak the wine bottles in a warm water to get rid of all labels and stickers attached on bottle.
2. Clean the exterior of bottles with soap water and then let it dry.
3. Use acrylic colors to paint the surface of bottles.
4. Apply 1st coat of paint and let it dry
6. After drying if you think that color is not coating the surface evenly then apply 2nd coat.
7. Generally after 2nd coat the bottles surface get coated evenly with the paint.
8. Apply mod-podge to protect the color from getting fade or dust accumulation and it also gives glossy texture to the bottle surface.
9. For 2 bottles I used burlap ribbon and painted stripes using acrylic color.
10. Generally, I like to make my own flowers but I had some leftover flowers from Michael's which I used to decorate these bottles.
11. You can decorate the bottles with any embellishments as per your choice.





Hope you all will like making them!!!
