6. Projects to make decorations that are CHEAP!

 

Here is a SUPER SIMPLE DIY project that will have your creative minds wandering and working over time. There is so much that you can do with a wine bottle. If you're like me you have some empty ones lying around... right?

Step 1: Take an empty wine bottle, clean it really good and peel all stickers/labels/goo off the bottle and dry really well.

 

Step 2: Buy some chalkboard paint. Rust-oleum is my fav. but you can really get away with a $.97 can of spray paint from the store too. The chalkboard paint will coat better and last longer, FYI.

Step 3: You will need to coat the entire bottle a couple of times. Wait for the first coat to dry well, usually about an hour in between coats. Make sure you get the top of the bottle as well so its real color isn't showing through.

(This is where spray painting them would work well).

Step 4: DECORATE! Once your bottles are dry you're ready to grab your favorite chalk and decorate away! I am so excited to make more of these!

Helpful Hints:

• Wrap some twine around the top of bottom of your bottle to give it some extra decoration
• Use white chalk, it shows up best!
• Use your finger to hold onto the bottle while painting it to ensure you are getting the bottom rounded lip as well.
