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.

twine and a dollar tree snowflake
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.

October 30 at 8:16 pmDebbie 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.

November 6 at 5:29 amSuch 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!

November 4 at 10:13 pmGreat Ann! Have fun.
Melinda Russell says
November 11 at 7:59 pmDid 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!
debbiedoo's says
November 11 at 11:19 pmI 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.
