If you're tight on space, but still want to display some holiday spirit, save your wine bottles to use as Winterized vases that look lovely on their own or filled branches as a mini tree. The chic decorations bring the season indoors and are so easy to pull off.
What You'll Need:
- Wine bottle
- White spray paint
- Spray paint
- Spray adhesive
- Epsom salts
Directions:
- Start by removing the label [1] from the bottle and then wiping it clean. Before you spray-paint the bottle, it has to be completely dry, so placing it in a nice, warm spot is a quick way to get rid of any moisture.
- Take the bottle outdoors, or to a well-ventilated area, and cover your work space with newspaper. Working slowly, around six inches from the bottle, spray-paint in even strokes until the bottle is coated.
- Let dry and then touch up as needed. After an hour, slightly spritz the top half of the bottle with spray adhesive and then dust it with Epsom salts [2]. Continue spritzing and dusting until it looks like the bottle was left out in the snow.
- Once the bottle is dry, use it to create a pretty display or line several up along your mantel. Just avoid getting the outside of the bottle wet — moisture will dissolve the Epsom salts.
