DIY Chalkboard Holiday Wine Bottle Upcycling Project

by Meredith - Arts & Classy

Making my holiday season sparkle is my top priority and you all know how much I love DIY projects!
I love this time of year. Everyone is happy and being selfless.
What makes my life sparkle even more is when I have wine in my life. It really does bring people together.
When I am entertaining, I only like serving the best to my guests.
Since you all know I am a classy girl and I love to be good to the environment too. I decided after entertaining some fabulous guests for a little wine night, I decided to transform my wine bottles into a holiday craft.

Here is a list of supplies you will need for this fun DIY craft.

3 wine bottles – I used one beer bottle with my 2 wine bottles.

Chalkboard paint

Paint brush

Twine

Paint Market

Small Paper Plate

Paper Towels to mask your workspace.

Chalkboard Marker

Quick drying tacky glue

Fake Flowers

STEP 1

You will want to clean your empty bottles first and remove the labels. I use a little dish soap for this process. Put some soap directly on the labels and rub it in and let them sit for 5-10 mins before peeling.

Paint your bottles. This will require a few coats and you will need to let the bottle dry between coats. This was the part that took the longest during this DIY.

STEP 2

You will wrap the twine around the tops of the bottles to add a decorative rustic look. I used the the tacky glue to make the twine stay where I placed it. Let this dry for an hour or so.

STEP 3

Take your pencil and write out a one letter per bottle. It is good to go over with a pencil and them use your chalkboard marker to eliminate any mess ups. Take your white chalkboard marker and write J-O-Y. Let this dry.

Place in a spot that will be perfect for holiday decor. You can also use the bottles as vases for a haply sprigs of holly, spruce, or pine. You can easily make this a specific Holiday decoration to make your holidays sparkle.

Making your holiday special on a budget doesn’t take too much work. It just takes a little thinking outside the box. Open your mind to the creative potential you have to make your decor look amazing!
