Candy Corn Wine Bottle Craft

Have empty wine bottles laying around? Try this little craft! 

No empty bottles? Get to drinking!
 
Candy Corn Wine Bottle Craft 
 
 


Supplies needed:
  • wine bottles
  • orange, yellow, and white tissue paper
  • spray paint
  • Mod Podge (glossy)
  • small paintbrush
  • cardboard (for work surface) 
  • ribbon 

Drink wine. Rinse bottles with warm water and soap. Remove labels. Dry.



Put the bottles on top of cardboard in an open area. Cover bottles completely with spray paint. Let dry.



While the spray paint is drying, cut your tissue paper into squares. The squares do not have to be perfect and can be different sizes.  Make sure that you have enough squares to cover and overlap on all of the bottles.



"Paint" the entire bottle with Mod Podge. Stick the pieces of tissue onto the Mod Podge.  You can overlap pieces of tissue. Try to flatten them onto the bottle as much as possible. Cover the entire bottle with tissue paper squares.



Once the bottle is covered with tissue paper, you will paint over top of the tissue with another layer of Mod Podge. Cover the entire bottle. **Be careful when you are doing this step because the orange tissue paper will stain the yellow and white. You might want to rinse your paintbrush and just do one color at a time.**



Let the bottle dry. 


Add ribbon around the neck of the bottle. 
Arrange the bottles onto a tray for a cute, Fall decoration!


What is your favorite thing about Fall?

Wine Cork Craft

I was organizing and cleaning up my office space when I had a BRILLIANT idea!

We have a ton of wine corks... 

...so I decided to use one make a little organizer for my paper clips and push pins. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed two lids off of jar candles, and a wine cork.

It literally look me about 10 seconds to make it once the glue gun was hot. 




Put a little bit of hot glue onto one end of the wine cork.

Push the cork onto one of the jar candle lids.

Add more hot glue to the top of the cork.



Push the other lid on top. DONE!



Use for organization on your desk or wherever you want!! Simple, cute, and inexpensive!
