Materials List
- Clear glass wine bottle (in this case, a 375ml bottle was used)
- 20 small pink scrapbook paper flowers
- Black Artline 703 permanent marker pen
- Acrylic paint in watermelon pink
- Clear drying wood glue
- Quick-drying clear spray varnish
- Super glue
- Paintbrush
- Small plastic container

Instructions
-
Wash the bottle and allow to dry upside down overnight. If necessary, use mineral turpentine to remove any glue residue from where the label was stuck.
-
In the plastic container, mix wood glue with some of the watermelon pink acrylic paint. Keep adding paint until a rose pink hue has been obtained.
-
Use the paintbrush and add a coat of colored glue to the outside of the wine bottle. Apply glue all the way up to the top lip of the bottle, but do not paint the base of the bottle. Allow to dry thoroughly.
-
Use the black Artline pen to draw twigs around the body, shoulder, and neck of the bottle.
-
Put the bottle upright on a piece of newspaper and spray with a coat of spray varnish. Remember to work in a well ventilated area when using the spray varnish. Allow to dry thoroughly.
-
Use super glue to add the flowers around the bottle.
