Winos: You're Welcome!

So, since the last post, I've... 

...celebrated making it to *23* -- YaY for a completely phenomenal DMB concert and a new pink & white Schwinn Beach Cruiser! (Thanks, bf!)...

...visited Chelsey in FWB & Destin, Florida...

...rendezvoused to New Orleans ...

...read this book I purchased at a cute bookstore in NOLA...

...and worked really hard to get settled-in at my new job!  :)

I had been craving a new project since the day I finished the quilt, so after deciding I wanted to try something not quite as daunting and time-intensive, I browsed through my Pinterest boards and got really excited about upcycling old wine bottles! 

Here's what you need:
1. Empty wine bottles!
2. Dimensional Fabric Paint (Any color. It will get sprayed over with spray paint. I used white.)
3. Spray paint
4. Ribbons
5. Flowers 
6. Tape (optional)

I got pink & white spray paint, and white fabric paint at JoAnn's!

First, remove all paper from wine bottles and make sure glass is clean, smooth, and dry. An easy way to do this is filling up the sink with warm water and letting the bottles soak for a few hours. The paper will come right off. 

Then, draw whatever you like on the bottle with the fabric paint! I wrapped tape around the bottle to help keep my "lines" straight. 

Let the fabric paint dry! Then spray paint the entire bottle with whatever color you choose!

Let that dry. Then tie a bow around the bottle neck, and insert pretty flowers! :)

I got my inspiration from this post I found on Pinterest:

Hope you enjoyed this post & think twice before throwing away your next empty wine bottle!
