DIY Halloween Wine-O-Lantern

So this is my rendition of something I saw on Pinterest! I LOVE Holiday's and love decorating for fall and winter (especially Halloween and Christmas).
I had a few wine bottles laying around (I didn't drink them all for this. No worries) and decided I wanted to make some Halloween/Autumn Pumpkins.

What I used:

  • Empty Wine Bottle & Empty Wine Jug
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Paint Sponge/Brush
  • Knife (to take off the label) 
  • Black fabric paint (I didn't have any other paint :)

I ran the bottle and labels under hot water, started to scrape the labels off with a knife and then did a final rinse of soap and water. 

Dry the bottle thoroughly. 

Then I simply painted the bottle. Let the first layer dry and do enough layers until you think it's opaque enough. Let the paint dry and then design a fun face with the black paint (you could probably do a witch or a ghost too.. I'm going to try another and post later) 
You could put a glow stick inside to illuminate it as well. 

It's super easy and cute. If you have someone who isn't picky about having the label on the wine, this would be a super cute gift if you had a full bottle of wine!

What do you think
