Good day to you!
It’s that time of year. Do I mean for drinking wine, or doing Christmas crafts?
Probably a little bit of both. Cheers! Don’t worry, I am not skipping over Thanksgiving. I just happened to have an empty bottle left over from bunco night and thought I would do a craft. When I posted the beginning process on instagram everyone was anxious to see it. So here you go.
FYI< all highlighted links take you to my projects:)
Today, I am sharing a recycled wine bottle Christmas craft idea.
I absolutely love crafting with wine bottles.
I have done a few in the past
and you can check those out when you get a chance.
First let’s start with the basics.
1st: Drink wine….. soak bottle in soapy warm water to remove the label, and be sure to rinse the inside out well.
Supplies:

American decor chalky paint 
Diamond dust or sparkle mod podge
embellishments of choice
First I turned my bottle upside down and gave it two coats of chalky paint.
I let that dry for an hour or so.
Then, I painted on a light coat of mod podge, and lightly sprinkled the diamond dust on the bottle
Let that dry for a few hours.
Last year was the first time I have ever used the diamond dust and it looks super cute on glass.

and my Dollar tree sparkle plate
I then took my bottle of evening blue and dipped my foam brush and painted it on the bottle lightly.
I dabbed the bottle with a paper towel lightly and let that dry completely for an hour or so.
Sip some wine while you’re crafting, it goes by faster:)
JK!
This is what it looks like while drying.
After completely dried, I embellished my bottle with button snow flakes, and a cute good bad button. I found the button packs at Michael’s for a dollar.

You can add a candle in the opening, you can add some lights inside. Whatever you like or just leave as is. I enjoy the thrill and relaxation of crafting. In fact, I had two crafts going at the same time while my supplies were scattered about the kitchen table. I hope you enjoyed my Christmas recycled bottle craft. I think this will wind up in the family room on the coffee table for the season. Thanks for stopping by today. If you are not a regular here, I sure would love to see you back again.

This was a new discovery of my own last year {painting on glass with rit dye}
It’s been really fun to see the process and the final results. No two are ever the same.

I am all about a little of both! Great project – I have never mixed Rit Dye with Mod Podge. Love the look!
Debbie love this idea. I’m doing a table for Christmas celebration at church and am using a snowmen theme. Can’t wait to try using red for blue. Let you know how it turns out.
I tried you Dr Pepper pork chops the other night and they were a HUGH hit. Fresh turnip greens from our garden and baked sweet potatoes with cornbread. Doesn’t get any better. My friends wanted the recipe and I posted it on Facebook giving you the credit. Thanks so much. Will go in my favorite recipes to be used again and again.
Oh that is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing.
That is so cool! I have all the ingredients 🙂 empty wine bottle and all!
Love it!!
Debbie
loves your wine bottle that’s my craft this year an corks would love to see what you come up with
Hmmm.. corks, I will have to see what I can do with those:) Thanks Patty.
Super cute as always Debbie!!
This is a fun project! I’m enjoying your blog tonight…catching up on what you’ve been making lately. Wish we could have a glass of wine together! Happy Fall! Sweet hugs, Diane
Such a great idea and I have LOTS of empty wine bottles! I do something similar with olive oil bottles but have a more shabby type of style. Love this rustic look!
Great Suzan! Glad you like it.
Love your craft. Now I have ideas to use w/my bottles.
Great Ann! Have fun.
Did you put a coat of clear varnish over the finished bottles?
This is a great idea.
I have some bottles (empty Young Living NingXia Red bottles) that are nice to use. I have painted some with designs, baked in the oven and then varnished. I use them to hold dishsoap. I wanted to do something different with the ones I have so this idea would be perfect. Thank you!
I did not use a varnish on these. However you can. But because of the rit dye, even with a varnish, I could not guarantee that they would not run. That is a chance you have to take. Mine were just decorative with no water contact. The varnish though may hold the dye.
