I love making things out of wine bottles. Not only does it give you a super cute decoration piece but it gives you, what I call, a good reason to drink what's in the bottle!
All you need:
-empty wine bottle
-hot glue gun
-spray paint
First, come up with a word/short phrase of your choice and write it out on the bottle with the hot glue gun. If you are writing more than one word it might be easier if you write it out with a sharpie first then go over it.
Next, spray paint the entire bottle the color of your choice. I sprayed mine white this time only because that was the only color I had in my garage.
I got really excited and impatient so I went ahead and took a picture, but this looks even better with a flower in it, sitting on my dresser!!
It seems like everyone I know is making these yarn wreaths and I'm kind of liking them so I had to try it out for myself. It was very time consuming but it is a great, fun craft to do while sitting on the couch watching tv.
You'll need a straw wreath (I kept the plastic on mine), yarn obviously (I used 3 different colors of Vanna's Choice yarn because it was 2 for $5 at Michaels), and a few sheets of felt for some cool little flowers (or any other added optional addition).
To start, tie a knot and you'll do the same to finish. All you do is wrap it around the straw wreath. Simple, huh? At first I tried to line the yarn up all the way around but that was a little too tedious for me. Imperfections create perfection and originality!
If you want to add some fun felt flowers it takes one sheet of felt per flower, for the bigger ones. Start by cutting waves around the sheet to take off the straight edges. Then you will cut a big spiral in the sheet. Once you have done that, start with the tiny inside end of the spiral and just wrap the rest around.
Attach the flowers or any other decoration piece of your choice and voila!
