We had a gathering one day and while clearing, I saw the number of wine bottles on the table. Usually, I throw them away but this time no, I need to do something about them. I searched the net for possible ideas. Tried cutting off the wine bottle using alcohol dipped in string but it was a flop for me :(
Then, I saw painted wine bottles and decided to give them a try. Nothing lost even if I don't succeed. So, began my journey of painting the wine bottles. I had painted glass earlier but bottles? No, I had never tried. The round surface of bottle makes it a little tricky to paint, the brush seemed to slip away. After two three mishaps and wiping off the surface again and again, I managed to create something. I even asked my friend to donate his empty wine bottles so I could practice more. Thanks Vijay for the carton of bottles.
There are various ways you can use these bottles. Put in your cooking oil with a spout, use it as a vase, put in your washing up liquid with a dispenser.
I paint glass ware with enamel paints and leave them to dry for at least 3 weeks. The only thing I need to be careful of after the final art work is not to use a harsh abrasive pad while washing them.

So, next time you see these glass bottles, think twice before throwing them away.
please may I have one
ReplyDeleteSo creative :) Nice use, Vandana.
ReplyDeleteThese bottles are attractive. The looks get further enhanced by art!
Thanks a lot, Anita
DeleteIt turned out to be a good thought- the end result is extremely pleasing. I like the first one (hibiscus?) in the first pic and the second one in the second pic (blue bottle). Keep going!
